I somehow hoped I would never have to post here. Spooky, born last Halloween, was an ideal chin, always happy to see me. She loved to nibble on my fingers and toes! She was always willing to be snuggled and cuddled, as long as it resulted in a fat juicy raisin or a crunchy cheerio. Three months ago I noticed she wasn't as active as she usually was so I brought her in for a check up. She had a slight respitory infection which we treated with antibiotics. Since then, she has been great. Yesterday, when I let her out, she seemed fine, she had eaten some of her food, enjoyed a nice dustbath and was bouncing off the walls as usual. When I went to give her a treat before I went to bed I found her slumped over near her food bowl, struggling to breath. I didn't even get the carrier, I just grabbed her in my arms and rushed her to the er vet. As soon as the vet took her from me, she passed away. The vet said her lungs had fluid in them, and it looks like she had developed pnemonia. I just wish there was something I dould have done., If only she had shown some signs that she was sick. I am going to miss her soooo much. I know her mom and sisters will miss her too. I buried her with a big box of raisins and a pink lava bite (her favorite). I didn't sleep at all last night, just thinking about her. Isn't it crazy how someone so little can break your heart? Spooky baby, I love you and I 'll never forget you!
