I lost my Baby. Here he is not long after his birth:



Here he is the day he died:




I held him within the first few minutes he was born and held him as he took his last few breaths of life. I watched with great intrigue and pride at how quickly he learned to do things - particularly great escapes - and his antics gave me a lot of laughter over the years. Finzzy can tell you, though the life may be small the pain is great.

My heart is in a million pieces. He'd been to the vet twice but old age and an infection finally took their toll. He didn't go quietly or easily into that good night but hung on and fought...

Matthew leaves behind a mate and ten children (one juvenile delinquent and nine babies born just this past week.) They will never know their Dad. Frown

Okay, but would you want them to live as long as parrots? You'd be in your 80's with Dude biting your socks.

Nick pulled a Pet Semetary.

He pulled a Pet Semetary. I'll have to post pics. He was lukewarm and laying on his side and having trouble breathing and hours passed like that with him in my lap. They usually pass within an hour like that.

Finally I had to sleep so I put him in the tank and nudged him towards his brother for sleep, right? Fully expected him to be gone when I awoke but no! Alive and seems okay but constantly biting. Now he's back to sleeping alone in the corner. Frown

He's really old and has tummy tumors so... Dontknow I've just never not been around when one of my animals passes away. They are always in my lap to ease the convulsions from heart attacks.

They usually isolate when they are sick and/or near death. Is he biting at you or at himself or at his brother or all three?
