Goodnight Sweet Millie

[kelza]

My beautiful little hybrid Millie passed away yesterday. She wasn't really fond of being handled, but she sure did have a personality and was fun to watch. I will miss all her funny little quirks.

She didn't like to burrow and would throw fits if her substrate was to deep. Just sit on her platform and yell until I removed some and flatten out the rest. Millie's cage sat by my desk and she would often chatter at me late in the evenings. She even would climb into my hand every one in a while for quick pet, but always on her terms.

Though technically mine, my 5 year old claimed Millie as hers and even named her. She was so matter-of-fact about Millie passing, and surprisingly calm. When saying good-bye she told Millie that she could run and play now since she wasn't tired anymore. That moment both made me cry, and so proud of my daughter at the same time.

Run free my sweet girl, we love and miss you Miss Millie.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Kelza. I know how painful it is to lose someone so dear to your heart. Although she wasn't fond of being handled, I know that she had a special place reserved in your heart for her just the same. She seemed like quite the character full of personality and spunk. I know she must be missed by both you and your 5-year old. Please take comfort in knowing that you gave Kelza a wonderful life full of much love, and she will be with the both of you in your hearts always. It was so touching and loving for your child to say such a thoughtful thing when saying goodbye. I know that it must have made you truly proud. Please know that my heart goes out to you both. Rest in peace and run free on the rainbow bridge, Millie.
