Bonne Chance

[susi794]

I have a horrific toothache and came home from work to take pain pills and sleep, so I was already teary eyed and feeling sorry for myself. I walked in and found Chance had passed away. I am devastated. I had hopes that he was going to make it....but small kits like he was rarely do. My vet said maybe I shouldn't try so hard to save a kit if it is sickly or very small.....because it just prolongs the inevitable. And maybe he's right. But what if????? I can't get beyond the what if part. Being a breeder is about making the tough choices sometimes, I know that. But once a little soul is on the Earth and in my care, I just can't allow it to die without trying to save it.
My little Chance--I'm so sorry you had such a short life. But you were loved by your mama and all your cousins, aunties and uncles, and especially by me. I held you close to my heart and gave you a million kisses. Hopefully enough to tide you over until I join you in Heaven, my sweet, tiny boy. I won't forget you--ever. You were a special gift to me--may you be one for the angels as well.

Missing you already,
Mama

[Catzzzmeow]

I am so sorry Susi to see this posting. Positive thoughts are sent your way and may that little angel Chance rest in peace.

Oh Susi this aches my heart, i am so so sorry to hear of this sad news. You done everything you could and i can understand about the what if ,i would of done the same.

RIP Chance you handsome little soul

 

[MyJezebel]

I'm really sorry Susi. It must be so difficult losing babies. I just can't imagine. While I do get where your vet is coming from, if I were a breeder, I know that just like you, I would do all that I could to give my kits every chance at life . Yes, it might still end in sorrow many times, but not always. I can't help but be reminded of a beautiful, sweet, precious baby girl named Candy Cane whose mamma never gave up on her. Hugs to you and the gang.

Susi,

I am soooooo sorry to read this and have tears in my eyes typing this. Just know that Chance KNEW all the love you had for him and all that you did for him. He is looking down on you now and will be forever your guardian angel.

Hugs to you and Lulu, and you know you have friends who are always here for you if you need anything!

 

[SphynxKid]

Im so sorry Susi. I agree with the others, I would do everything I could to save a kit, I mean, someones gotta give the weak ones a chance and some hope...

This is such terrible news. I'm really sorry that little Chance passed away. I know how much each and every baby means to you. I also agree that no matter what, we want to give every baby a shot at life no matter their circumstance or chances. This is why I couldnt be a breeder. To have a baby for a few weeks, and then them not make it. We get so attached! I love you Susi and respect you for what you do. You gave Chance a really good life. Rest in peace little buddy, and give Lulu kisses from me.

 

[Caloci]

Oh Susi, I am soooo sorry. I know it hurts so much when they dont make it after you help them fight. But to quote a great lady I know, "Bonne Chance was loved and that is everything."

I know they dont all make it but MyJezebel is right, sometimes they do because someone who loves them fought for them. Hold and love your gang and I pray that together you can all find some comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss Susi *hugs* RIP Bonne Chance

 

[Gizasmom]

Tears were shed for u today... This Is horrible! ..... I'm just so sad for u love and prayers ur way!

 

[susi794]

Thanks everybody. I cried again while I was reading your kind words. I know you all care and were celebrating his little soul right along with me. I believe he knows that and how much he was loved.....and Caloci, thank you for reminding me that he was loved.....and that IS everything.
I love you guys.....I feel so sad.

Two more of the chubs are going to their forever home tonight--Gizmo and Mika are going to live together and that makes me so pleased. Leia went to her forever home with GothicMist and her hubby last week and is doing very well. I got word from Pounce's new mommy that because of her broken ankle and not being able to drive, that Pounce will be staying with me until toward the end of April. So I will enjoy being a chub mama for a while yet......he's such a sweet little guy that I am happy to love him up awhile longer....except he is eating me out of house and home! LOL But he is always busy, so I guess he needs the food to keep the furnace burning all that energy he has. He has been on my lap purring and giving me kisses several times since I came home at noon. He is very sensitive to my moods and he knows I am upset.....he is such a lover boy. He is an old soul for a kit so young.
Well, I have gone on long enough--probably boring everyone to bits.....thanks for allowing me to ramble on.
I love you,
Susi and the gang

Susi,
You could never bore us to bits or otherwise. We love you, you are family, your joys are our joys, and your sorrows are our sorrows.
Chance's life however brief was spent being loved and doted on, by you and your gang and by us all on here waiting to see how he was doing.
I don't think you're doing a disservice to anyone by having hope and love for the small and the weak. Sometimes I think they're the ones that need the love more. For as many as you love and lose, theres got to be at least that one that you love and get to see thrive.
I just worry over the toll it takes on your good, kind heart is all.

***hugs***
We love you sweet lady!

Awe POOP! If this isn't a SUCK than I don't know what is!!! I don't know what else to say

 

[susi794]

Awww, Sara. I am ok. I do what you can do....and the rest is not under my control. At the end of the day I know that I did all I could do.....and if it isn't to be, then at least I don't have to feel guilty for not doing enough. He was loved....by so many folks. And I have to believe he felt it.

 

[susi794]

"In the arms of the angels.....fly away from here......in the arms of the angels...may you find some
comfort there. "

Here are the last pics I took of my beautiful little Chance:

 

[Catzzzmeow]

You have me crying again. I love that song on top of it. RIP Chance.

 

[susi794]

I love that song too.....

 

[Rwalkerg]

I had prayers for this little guy in making it, I'm tearing up that he is gone.

 

[GoldHazel]

Susi794, we haven't met yet and I'm sorry we are meeting under these horrible circumstances.
I'm sorry about Chance. He's not suffering anymore, but I know you are. My heart aches for you. Feel better soon.

 

[ZiggyStardust]

Oh dear Susi! I am so sorry. I have no doubt he knew he was loved. Those are such sweet photos. Hugs and love to you and Lulu.
