Poor Willem

Willem is not well. We took him to see the vet, our brother in law, today because he's very short of breath, his chest heaving and his breath ragged, and in general showing all the signs of not being well, although without any obvious symptoms. The examination left him drooling, gasping for breath, and totally exhausted. Most probably he's anemic and there might be something pretty badly wrong with his lymphatic system. In or around his kidney there appeared to be some tissue or growth that didn't appear entirely normal to the vet. Tomorrow I'm going to have to make an appointment for an ultrasound of his abdomen and chest and when we have that in, we'll know more.
Poor Willem. Those who've met him know he's one of a kind, incredibly smart, strongwilled and sporting a personality that's several sizes bigger than his physical self. But... no eulogies till we're at his grave, which I hope is still a long way off. Fingers crossed.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
