Phaistos sadly didn't make it

[InsiderPhD]

Phaistos had been sick for a while, the last month she had been going to vet weekly to check on her condition, the vet was unable to do any kind of diagnostics on her and treated for quality of life. We had seen the vet on Sunday, who saw she was active, looked well, no wet tail, bright eyes, and decided that she was managing okay.

Phaistos succumbed to her illness yesterday. She was loved for her whole short life and we did everything we could for her. She died peacefully in her sleep right after taking her medicine like the good ham she was.

We really thought she would make it, we thought she could have 6 months at least, but it wasn't to be.

Here are some pictures from the good times:

Phaistos you can't sleep there!

I fell down the stairs and badly hurt my ankle and foot, while I was on crutches she was a great therapy ham

Anyone want a brew?

Oh no, I'm terribly sorry that your treasured and very beautiful Phaistos had passed to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday! She was so very lucky to have you doing all that you could to nurse her back to health, and I'm sure that she must have appreciated all of your tender, loving care. She was a truly wonderful ham and it was so sweet that she was able to help you while you were recuperating from an injured ankle and foot. She tried her best to stay with you longer, but sometimes we unfortunately don't get our prayers answered. My heart goes out to you during this very emotional time, and I'm sending you HUGE hugs your way. I'm sure she will be greatly missed, but she will live on in your heart and cherished memories always. Hugs.

RIP, dear Phaistos! You were truly special and will be loved and remembered always. Have tons of fun at the Bridge, and please send your ham-parent a special message to assure your loved one that you have arrived safely at the Bridge and you will be fine there.

I am so sorry xxxx She was lucky to have a loving caring owner to care for her to the end and it sounds like she passed peaceful - but a great loss to you. She is playing free over the rainbow bridge now.

I so very sorry for your loss! I cried while reading this, I really fell in love with Phaistos. You gave her the best life ever and she loved you. She was so lucky to fall into your hands. She was so lucky to have you to nurse her back to health. I really love the pictures you posted of her and I especially love the one of her sleeping in the strange position. That’s so sweet that she a little therapy ham and helped you get through the hard times when you were on crutches. She was so loved and happy in her short life and will never be forgotten. All my love goes out to you in this hard time.

Phaistos,
You were such a sweet little ham and I loved reading all about you and your cuteness. Your owner loves you so much and so dose your sister. You will never be forgotten. Run free at the bridge Phaistos.
