After a valiant struggle with a very aggressive and advanced mast cell cancer, Charlie took his last trip to the vet on February, 13, 2007. He was active and bright and feisty up until the last three days of his life when a rapidly growing internal tumor began putting pressure on a major nerve center, causing intense and ongoing pain. We got him comfortable with a narcotic patch and kept him around for a day so that his many friends and admirers could say goodbye to him. After a comfortable night and a day spent dozing and watching Law & Order reruns (his favorite) he was put to sleep peacefully on his favorite blanket. Little Charlie will be sorely missed by all the people who loved him and gave him his many nicknames: Morgansonne Palace Pony (his kennel name), Charlie ChocolateHead, Mr. Ptanga (when he was in his African dictator mood), Char-Char. . .By whatever name, he will be sorely missed.
