Handsome Norton came to live with us when he was six weeks old, with Vincent and Nimbus. He was a gorgeous baby who grew into an enormous, muscular boy. He impressed everybody one way or another - people were either scared of him or wanted to cuddle him. But poor Norton wasn't to have very long with us after all. He was only seven months old when he had to be rushed to the vet one night, gasping and choking. His lungs had filled with fluid because his heart was failing. Despite the vet's best efforts to save him, Norton passed away less than 48 hours later.
