Mr. Checkers Passes

Mr. Checkers, one of my Idaho rescue boys, has passed today.  He has battled respiratory illness for some time and this was not unexpected.  I will never understand how this works.  Half of the cage is fine, the other half has issues. :*(  He is survived by his cage mates and fellow Idaho rescues Harper, Tator, Tot, and Masher.  (Both Tot and Masher also have respiratory issues.)  Rest in peace little one.
