RIP Obi (2001? - 2008)

Sadly, I have just got back from the emergency vets, having made an unexpected trip there with Obi.
I'd noticed he had a lump in his abdomen and he was due to see the vet tomorrow evening, since he'd seemed fine otherwise, but then he went downhill very rapidly tonight over the space of about 90 minutes. So much so, in fact, that by the time Obi was actually in with the vet there was so little heart activity that they couldn't even inject him to put him to sleep and he just passed away peacefully on the table.
The above seems to be the best pic I have of him, doing his second-best favourite thing, since I can't locate the one I was sure I had of him doing his customary prairie dog impression any time he thought he was missing out on something. Or indeed, his party trick of unplugging the hoover...
