He's Gone

[ritzy_d]

My beloved little Chili is gone. After more radiographs yesterday, we could see that he was not going to get better. He had already lost over 1/2 his weight because he was having trouble chewing and breathing, and I didn't want him to be in pain or uncomfortable any longer than he needed to be. I know I could have had a few more days with him. But

Mare, he is as precious as they come. Just heaven in a fur suit.

Just so so sorry to hear he's gone. Nothing, NOTHING, makes it easier, I know. So sorry. :-(

Yes, he was! A piece of heaven wrapped in fur. Oh Maia, he was just so sweet and so friendly. He was the one to come running and jump into my hands and then sit on my arm for as long as I wanted. He would stick his nose out and wait for me to kiss him. He was just so so so good and so sweet.

I'm still crying over him. I just want him back, I want him back NOW! I'm doubting my decision and wondering did I do it too soon? Could I have had more time with him? But then I look at the last photo I took of him and he just looked so miserable and I couldn't bear for him to be uncomfortable or in pain.

At least I was with him right up until the end. I held him while he went to sleep and told him how much I loved him, and thanked him for hopping over and picking me to live with when he was a baby. He brought me so much joy in his short little 5 years.

I miss him so much. I know you understand this. I so know.
