R.I.P. Sweetheart

[soulmatejunkee]

Today my old beautiful lady "Anastasia" died. She was the last cavy from my big threesome. She was 7 years old, so yes, she was an old lady. But it's still weird to not having her here anymore. She was such a special lady.





Lately she really got old, she lost some weight and her digestion wasn't the best anymore. Two days ago I found a pus-filled something on the left side of her mouth. I had something like that before with her daughter - Cassius - and I already decided to not get Anastasia into a surgery. She was too old and too small, I wouldn't do that.

Today I went to the vet and she found another pus-filled thing on the other side and something in her stomach.

I wanted my old lady to get old in health and to die happily ... to just fall asleep. But it doesn't seem to work that way. I didn't want to extend the inevitable just to keep her alive for a few more weeks or months with medicine and/or surgery.

So I decided to let her go.
She fell asleep in my arms.

RIP my beautiful lady, I love you.

So sorry! Now your second "old" friend is gone, too...and leaves you and the young one alone. At least you had good and many years together, and it's good that you spared her more pain. I send you huge hugs!!!! Pet

Actually it's the fourth old friend... first my Picasso, my one and only, my best, I cried so hard when he died. Then his (and Anastasias) daughter, Cassius. She was such a sweetheart, but she was sick. And then Eule in June and now Anastasia.

The "old gang" is gone now. It feels weird.
