I am new to this site but...
Two weeks ago last Sunday, my darling Tabitha passed away. She was our standard girl, 2 1/2 years old. She and Mickey (my other chinnie, my sweet boy) were my first chinnies and I've only had them about six months now. Mickey misses her like crazy, it's unbelievable how sad he seems. My heart breaks every time I see him. We've gotten another little girl last week, as EVENTUALLY I will be breeding them (do not worry, I have been and am reading every single material I can get on the matter, but this isn't the place to really discuss that).
I was told that she passed due to no outstanding reason. She had "an old heart with a young spirit". Sunday night, it seemed something had just given up inside her. She just... was so fragile in my arms. I spoke soothingly to her, stroked her, and rubbed her joints gently. After awhile, it seemed she would be just fine, but... no.
She was just a wonderful girl. She was so gentle and trusting. She loved so much to be out and run around, and crawl all over me. It was so hard, losing her. I still miss her, very much. The only thing that truly consols me, at least a little, is that I was able to give her a happy end of her life. She had so many toys and so much time out of her cage. She was spoiled so much, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Both myself and my little Mickey miss her.

::sigh:: I hope I truly did make her a happy little chinnie.
