Very Sad Update

[Jules7533]

I wanted to let you all know that unfortunately, after a long hard battle, my husband and I have decided to let Madi go to chinny heaven. After trying to do so many things for her with her maloclussion we have decided it is not fair to her to live the life she is living. She is not a happy little girl any more. She does not even like us to touch her anymore. I am happy to say that she had a wonderful 8 years with us. I know like everyone else who has dealt with this it is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I have been sitting up with her since 3 in the morning trying to figure out how to muster up the streghnth to take her to the vet and every time I look at her it makes it that much harder. But I know it is the right thing to do for her. I am so glad I found this forum and I guess I am just kinda venting my frustration and sadness to you guys. Sorry! :( No one can truly understand my pain other than chin lovers who know how close these little buggers get to your heart. Thanks for listening. Sorry for the long post. On a happier note we were able to adopt two boys who were in need of a home. It still just feels wrong and I hope she is not mad at me, but I had to fill the gap in my heart to have the stregnth to let her go. I hope I am not a bad mommy for that! :( :( :( :confused: Thanks again for letting me vent guys!!

I am so sorry for your loss, I think she would be happy that you got wo more chinchillas because if it makes you happy then it makes her happy. SHe knows that you did it for her.

I'm sorry you had to make this tough decision and are losing one in the process :( You're at least gaining two and filling that gap. I think your baby would probably be happy with the decisions you've made, as you think it's for the best for her.

Good luck to you as you let her go and open your home to the two boys :)

I'm so sorry Jules. It sounds like you have made the right decision for you both, even as hard as it is.

Lose yourself in your two new boys. The lovely Madi will understand and probably be watching you and giving her blessing.

Take care.

I'm sure that was a very hard decision. I don't think you're a bad mommy at all. I think she is very proud of you for helping her get out of this mess. I bet she still loves you and knows that the two new boys you are adopting is going to have one of the greatest homes they can get. Just be glad you gave her 8 years of unconditional love.

No one is thinking that you are a bad mommy! I'm sure Madi loves the fact that you found room in your heart for 2 homeless boys.
Take care!
