sudden unexpected loss

Post by Yak »

we're just shocked and gutted here. Little Tempest is dead.

We don't know why; there was no warning, he was fine yesterday. His digestion was good, we checked only yesterday; no sign of diarrhea so nothing like worms or aught (he'd been dosed a month or so ago and was fine). He was eating and cudding - the things you look out for are loose stool or lack of cudding and he was fine in those respects, just yesterday.

We went out this morning and it looked like he was asleep at the front gate, but he was gone.

No warning, no sign of illness, aparty from that he was always so quiet; but he always was a quiet, gentle little sheepie..

We are absolutely gutted here, especially Giles who was effectively his "mum" when he was tiny.

It's harsh because if he had at least shown signs of being ill we might have been able to do something; as it is it feels worse because we didn't know to do anything..

ach... just absolutely gutted, is all.

So long, little chap. I wish we had had more time...

Have to add some words of thanks for all the effort you both made in giving such a cute fella a second chance and saving him from an unpleasant end.

So sorry for your loss, lads. R.I.P Tempest.

That's just awful. I know it's probably scant comfort now but at least he had a lovely life with two lovely parents while he was here.

Big hugs to you both

Awww. :(

Big hugs to you both.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss

Sorry to hear that - we just had our cat put down and it's not a pleasant experience.

Make sure you call the next one Tempest 2, 'k?
