Panzer's long and brutal story has finally come to its close, and though my heart is broken, I'm glad that the last months of his life were safe and happy ones.
I had hoped that he'd be around for years more to come, but that was wishful thinking; he was old, and blind, and disabled, and though the vets had never said so in so many words, I knew that they could tell he was nearing his end.
Panzer passed away peacefully during brumation, warm and well-fed and loved. I couldn't have asked for anything better for him.
Goodbye, my love. Et que des vols d'anges chantent sur ton repos.
