@Hannamae , sweetie I am so so sorry baby June got her angel wings.. ((Hugs)))
Your love is all she knows and took with her to the rainbow bridge.

"Let your special scent be the last I smell, your touch the
last I feel. Let the sweet sound of your voice guide me
on this last journey. For I will wait for you, young and strong,
Where the rainbow meets the earth.

For you were good to me, you were the world to me.
Together we built something that will never fade away.
I will wait for you, healthy and whole, where the
rainbow meets the earth, my friend."

@Toa and Ross @Yoda mom

Thank you both very much. It has been such a rough time, but knowing that she is not suffering is a small reassurance. She was my baby girl and I loved her so much. We are going to take some time to grieve. I do not want to give up on the Sphynx breed, because I absolutely loved June, but it is very hard to contemplate ever getting another after the emotional turmoil we've been through.

Thank you all for your kind words, hugs, and thoughts.

You will know if and when the time is right to bring a wrinkled baby into your life again....and if you do, June will be helping to hand pick that perfect little one. Know we are here for you.

Sorry for your loss but as I say once you get the bug it is a hard thing to shake.
You will know when the time is right.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is the hardest part of loving and sharing our lives with our beloved pets. They are our family...and the grief is so completely overwhelming when we have to say goodbye...there are no words to stop the pain you feel. Just know that we are here to help hold you up if you need us to. June knew she was loved, and that is everything. And I agree with Patti...June will send you another little soul to love. She knows that loving families are too good to waste on grief. She made you love the breed and that is quite an accomplishment for a wee little girl to do. Run free sweet baby girl!

I am so sorry that you lost your girl. This disease is a horrible thief--stealing our tiny babies from us. But you gave your June the best life she could have and I hope you can take comfort in that.

So sad and terribly sorry, for your loss. She had great love while
she was with you and so did you. My heart is so sad for you.

@Hannamae : take your time to grieve. You'll never forget June and she will always be in your heart. Maybe there will come a day you'll be ready to take another sphynx to your home and in your heart. I sure hope so cause the love and joy of a sphynx is what you deserve!

Again, my condolences. And as others have said, one day the time will be right to bring another Sphynx into your heart. And you will love the new Sphynx is deeply as you loved June. Differently, perhaps, but justice deeply. The Sphynx breed is one that seems to inspire deep respect and a deeper love. Only those who have been close to a Sphynx understand its draw.

Hugs to you, dear lady.

Thank you all for being so kind. This community has been so good to us through our loss. I have not given up on the Sphynx breed, and I'm sure another Sphynx baby will one day steal my heart away just as June did. Time will help.

She was my baby girl and I loved her so much. I would do anything to get her back, but I can at least be glad that her suffering has ended and that the illness can hurt her no more. She gave us all of her affections and we gave her all of ours right back. She was robbed from me too early, but I was there with her to say goodbye, and I am fortunate for that.

We send all of the Sphynx parents here our love and our thanks.

A lot of cuddles from my boys and a big hug from me for you as a great sphynx lover!

So Sorry for your loss. My wife and I definitely feel your pain and send our condolences. One of our boys was stolen from us thanks to HCM and it was the most devastating thing that we had to endure in our 15 years of marriage, moreso than the loss of some of the humans in our lives. Sphynxes steal our hearts and their loss is very painful. To this day, I still get teary-eyed every day when thinking of our Gryff. The grief never goes away, but remembering the great times that you had with June will make it more tolerable. The anniversary of our losing him is coming up in a few weeks and I honestly do not know how I am going to handle it.

We understand your reservations toward the breed as we went through the same thing. Unfortunately, we elected to move onto another hairless breed, since we have another two Sphynxes that are HCM stricken and are distraught even at the thought of losing them too. In the meantime, we're managing them with meds and their scheduled scans. We plan on giving them the best lives possible until the inevitable happens. We'll probably end up with another Sphynx in the future, but at the time, we weren't ready. They definitely have a personality all their own. My best advice is just follow your heart. You will know when you are ready....and when you have those dark moments, we'll all be here for you.
