Sad day

I'm so sorry to hear about Missy! You'll know when the right time is for you to get another quilled one. Take care

I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my Hedwig this past January. And it was sudden as well. I could have had a necropsy done but I've been present to a few of them in my line of work and I did not want him to go through that. He was my first, and it was, and still is, a devastating blow to me. I buried him beneath his favorite pot of african violets, in his favorite shoebox with some crickets and mealworms, and his favorite toy. I thought that I didn't want another hedgehog because he had such a brillant personality and he was so smart, and extremely loving. However, the void I feel is so sharp, I need to fill it. I know this may sound weird to some of you guys. But I thought a long time, and I prayed many nights for Hedwig. I told him that I loved him, I asked him to forgive me if I had ever wronged him out of ignorance, I let him know how much of an impact he had on my life. I know he is in heaven, I personally believe that if God mad sure there where 2 of everything on The Ark, he would not forsake them in the afterlife. I have asked my little boy to team up with God and find me another hoglet that he would approve of, and I believe Hedwig will pick out someone special. I hope I don't sound too looney binish, but I think everything living has a soul. Again, I am so sorry about Missy and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

SherAlena-

I dont think that sounds weird at all. And if the men in white jackets are coming to get you, I have a feeling they will be picking alot of us up here- because I can garentee you that many of us (myself included) have felt the same way about a hedgie, or another pet.

Thank you for sharing your touching story with us. So sorry to hear about the loss of your Hedgewig.

Tina-

So very sorry to hear about Missy.

Sending thoughts out to both of you

[fezzi's mum]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my Fezzi too. I had a HUGE urge to go and rescue another one right away, but I know I need some time. And SherAlana, I don't think what you wrote is crazy at all. You just loved him very much.

SherAlana,
That was so beautiful! We buried Missy in my wildflower bed. I too buried her with her favorite flannel blanket. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all. The only Vet that handles exotics is about an hour drive from me and I wouldn't have been able to get over that way until the weekend. We decided to have a quiet burial here at home. Missy was loved, and I want to think that it was just her time to go and have the fond memories of her while she was with us. I had her for about a year and when I got her she was already 2 or 3 years old.

My DD has already asked if I wanted another, and I told her not right now. Maybe down the road.

That is one of the hardest things I've had to deal with in having pets in my life...when they are gone they sure leave a BIG hole in your heart.

Your sadness is shared by all of us who have loved and lost our dear pets...just keep in mind that you gave them a good and happy life while they were here and that's the best a pet owner can do.
