Whisper, too soon my angel.

[cypher]

My precious little Whisp has gone far too soon, she was only 9 months old.

I've been really worried about her the last few days, although there was nothing obvious she just didn't seem herself, appeared to be feeling vulnerable & moving much more slowly than than is usual for her, she was eating & drinking, hadn't lost weight so I did wonder if was the heat bothering her although it's not making much difference to Zeki.
I took her to the vet on Wednesday, unfortunately my usual vet was away & the one I saw was honest enough to admit he didn't know much about hams but he checked her heart & lungs & checked for any physical signs but found nothing, I'm not sure things would have been any different had my usual ham savvy vet seen her tbh, it was just a bit of a mystery.
None the less I can't help feeling I let her down somehow, that there must have been more I could have done for her even though I have no idea what.

Sadly she didn't want to be comforted or held so I let her hide away just checking on her from time to time & found her this morning lying in her cage, gone to the bridge.

It seems my brightest stars are never destined to burn so bright for long.
I love all my hams to bits but somehow, like Zephyr, Whisp had an extra special place in my heart.
So much life crammed into so little time.
She was always there to comfort me when I needed her most, gave me so much happiness & joy, made me laugh…. when the pain will let me I will treasure those moments forever more.

Thank you for being you Whisp, I'll always love you angel & always be so very grateful that I had you in my life even though our time together has been so cruelly short.

At least I know she is at peace now & it's only me who is hurting so, I'll bury her next to Zephyr later today & I'm sure the three amigos will be there to meet her at the rainbow bridge & take care of her.

She's resting in her pouch now.



Happy days…



Run free & play well at the bridge my precious little friend.

[cypher]

Thanks so much everyone.

We had a last cuddle & whisker kisses, I said my goodbyes & buried her nestled in her pouch inside her house with a walnut, a piece of pepper & a well chewed greenie.

It's really hitting me now, I'm so devastated, shocked & lost without her.
Have to be strong for Zeki now.

[Thin Lizzy]

Oh Cypher, when it happens it's such a shock then it really hits you hard and the pain and heartbreak is unbearable.
Please take comfort in Zeki, he'll have sensed your upset.
Sending BIG hugs xxx

Oh Cypher I am so sorry. Huge hugs. It maybe was something congenital that was going to happen. I don't think there was anything you could have done - you gave her a wonderful life xxx
