Little Fliegen passed away at 10:22am on Tuesday, April 28 while I cradled her. Although her medication had stopped her seizures, it became apparent that the brain tumour was rapidly affecting her in multiple ways and I could no longer let her suffer. She spent her last night sleeping next to me so I thankfully had a chance to say a proper goodbye. At 19 years, her little body had lived all it could - although her ears stayed perky right up until the end.
I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for your kind thoughts.

Dear Julie,
We are all sad to hear that there's an empty spot in your heart where your good friend used to be.
I agree with Not So Smart, that these episodes are the saddest of ones lifetime. It's funny, after losing my pal, it has taken 20 years for me to warm up to the idea of getting a new friend. Twenty years. No hurry.
You know, it's too bad that people don't have the loving spirits of our four legged friends.
...sorry.

Julie,
Relieving the suffering of a beloved animal is an attribute shared only by compassionate humans. Be proud.

That would be nice but that's not the case here in California. Did you have any problems with the replacement winshield or the install ? Was it a factory windshield ?

Since a lot of dealers have a Brabus or two in inventory now. I am thinking maybe the base price of $17,990.00. Then the buyer only has to pay their state sales tax plus tags. They will save dealer fees, plus the cost of freight and options on you...
