Blitz 2/6/06-7/18/08

[Marybelle]

She almost made it to 2.5.  But, in the end, she decided to join her sister.  She had a couple of slow-growing mammary tumors, and I guess they took more out of her than I thought.  Last night, I noticed she didn't come out when we put the food in her cage.  She had been fine and energetic the night before.  Then, I saw her curled up in the corner.  She was still breathing, but cool to the touch, and not interested in food.  I got her to take a little bit of water from a syringe, but she didn't want anything else.  I tucked her into the hospital cage with some food and warm fleece, and covered it to keep her safe from drafts, but I told her that it was okay to go, if she needed to, and that her sister would be waiting for her.  I found her this morning.  It looks like she passed in her sleep, which is a good way to go.

Farewell my Blitzy-girl.  Join your sister and run free.  We'll miss you terribly, but I'm so glad you're not in pain, and that you didn't suffer.

oh marybelle, if there was a chosen way to go then that would be it.  blitz and her sister are running amok at the bridge with all of the ones that were waiting for them!  i hope your heart heals soon.

Oh Mary I am sorry.   

But what a lovely peaceful way to end her time with you...no stress, no pain, just The End.  Lucky girl to have found you.

((hugs))

I'm so sorry to hear about your girl. But at least there was no pain involved. Much love.

my thoughts are with you, I am so sorry to hear about your baby.  I lost my Luna the same way, It was a blessing that they passed so peacefully.
