Tommy

Tommy - January 2010 to January 10, 2013

Tommy arrived in a group of 4 boys who were 23 months old, sickly and not expected to live long. Tommy was the big burly brother but he was also the most worried and spooky. He didn’t like handling and he never truly warmed up to the idea. At the end I gave him good friends so he decided I couldn’t be all that bad.

After Cecil’s tumour was removed in a risky surgery, Loki and Tommy cuddling up with Cecil between them.



Beautiful Tommy



With the other brother Oscar who despised me and would beat his 2 remaining brothers up occasionally.

Aging? Sadly yes. He was 35 months here.



I decided to try my 2 boys with horrible respiratory issues with the Oldies group of Keiran and Cesar. After Cesar put the other boys down a couple of times they became wonderful friends.

Tommy, Cesar and Oscar (who had decided I was great now).



And this pic will be in many memorials I imagine. Less than a week ago I caught ALL the boys in the hammock together.

Cesar and Tommy have become very close, so I decided that I would let them go together, as they are both getting more weak and more tired and it was Time. 3 years is nothing to sneeze at for such a sickly group of boys and Oscar is still with me to carry on and take care of Keiran.
