Tribute To My Sweet Little Tate

I am so very sad that my sweet little Tate has left me. He was the sweetest little boy ever. So very laid back and never once got upset at anything. Back in 2014 he had a bump on his chin that was biopsied and from getting wet the stitched came out to early and it left two tiny holes in Tate's chin. You can see them in the photo of him when he's 14 months old. The vet thinks an infection started there due to water getting in those holes and setting there over time. In August he had a large abscess cleaned out in that jaw that left the right side of his face disfigured. A couple of weeks ago he started squinting that right eye and within a couple of days a few yellow spots appeared on that side of his face by his flap. The infection had moved up his cheek and he was put on an antibiotic but I guess it was to late. My sweet little man passed away last Thursday. My heart is broken and I miss him so much. Sleep tight Little Tate my precious little angel.

Oh Jann, I am so sorry. This is a shock! Tate was such a sweetie. He will be missed.

Rest In Paradise Little One :(.
 
I'm so sorry Jann. At least he had a wonderful life in your caring hands. Sometimes it's about the quality, not quantity. If you don't mind my asking, where did the name Tate come from?
 
So very sorry to hear that you lost Tate. He was beautiful and had a great life with you...and you have lots of photos to remember him by. Keep him in your heart Jann.
 
Sorry to hear about Tate, Jann.. You gave him the best life any little guy could have, and your pictures are a wonderful tribute to him!
 
Oh my gosh! I am terribly sorry to hear this Jann. I never imagined I would see this. May he rest in peace.

I am glad you were the one caring for him though, he lived the best life he could have with you.
 
Aw, this is terrible news. I'm so sorry. Tate really was a beautiful cham. Sleep tight, little man Tate.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss Jann, he was stunning and had such a friendly face :( Rest in peace now little one
 
Jann, I'm soooo sorry to hear that Tate lost his battle with the infection. I have no doubt he got the best care from the vet and TLC from you! Just know that he was a happy boy while he was here!!!!
RIP little man Tate.......
 
Jann, I am so sorry. After hearing about the vet visit I was hopeful and really didn't expect this news. It never gets any easier to lose one of these amazing creatures - in fact it seems to get harder. The places in our hearts continue to fill up with memories of lost loved ones. Rest in Peace, little Tate.
