sleep well little one, I'll ask Poppet to look out for you..

[Amethyst_ice]

Thank you all so much...i know this comes to us all, just wasn't expecting it so soon..although i did say to my partner i have always thought he would be the first to go...his energy...its like he was too big for this world..never satisfied.

I just took him back to the zoozone..ive had his wrapped up on the sofa all day...i gently wrapped him in tissue and have placed him under his igloo....he never once didn't sleep in it, hopefully i can get myself together to go buy a plant and bury him under it...

and rach- yes...at least he came back last night...he had planned not to (hence the note) and i rang saying some choice things that after 8 years how could he just leave me to coem to our little man gone...he said he was planning to come back anyway..however he left today, i have everyones cages to clean out, perhaps pumpkin remembered it was the full zoozone clean due bless him...

i feel i want to cry...i feel so selfish because i have and can give plenty of tears over my partner...yet why cant i with pumpkin? maybe it hasn't settled in yet, the colour seems to have drained from him so quickly, my gorgeous satin boy, i truely hope he stuffing all the markies he can find up at the bridge!

Just wish i had managed to take him to a show..i promised him he wouldnt be the only one without a rosette as he was recovering for kingswinford

Thanks everyone...i cant say how much strength this forum has given me...and some amazing friends i have made and a few have been lucky enough to meet and spend time with. We all have our own issues and perhaps i shouldnt be so open about mine, but thanks seriously....those of you that know me outside the forum or on fb....just keep nudging me yeh....im not the strongest person atm.

Id like to share some pics, most of you that have been around here will prob remember them

Love of his old grey (yak) wheel



His love of monkey barring that got him into too much trouble!



His love of pouching too many large things!



This picture makes us chuckle...he never struggled lol



This was him when he first chose me



I'll miss you

Don't feel bad about not shedding tears over pumpkin yet.. it's human nature..when you have that many things to deal with, I think you're coping really well from the sounds of it.
He looked like he was a great little guy, and absolutely beautiful.
And at least he hung on to give you one last cuddle, and make sure you'd be alright.

You're probably right about him being too much for this world.. and it was better that he went out fighting than just fading away.
I know he'll be monkey-barring on the bridge, and that he'll always remember all his adventures.

I really can't imagine how awful you feel..but I hope that in time it passes, even if it's just by a little bit.

All those photos are beautiful too.. RIP pumpkin

All those pics are lovely (and a little bit funny :P ). That last pic is adorable! At least you have fond memories x

[Womblehands]

I'm sure he will get a rosette in hammy heaven. Hope your other furbabies are ok and helping you at this dreadful time

I am sure the tears will come in time when you can take it in, you have alot to deal with at the moment he is gorgeous and I cried just reading your post you cared about him so much! We are all here for you! x

[Smysha]

He was a very cute little man.

As for your partner issues - I'm going through something very similar myself. We've never talked privately but if you need to you can talk to me. We could totally cry together!

[Smysha]

^^ That sounded creepy. I meant that in a very non-creepy way I assure you!

Dear Amethyst

From Pumpkin to you with love........

I had the chance to go before, but knew it wasn't time.
I had a lot of work to do was busy all the while.
I had to make you smile and laugh you needed me you see.
Just didn't know it at the time, but I know that now you see.
I've missed you these last few days but knew you were on your way.
I heard the words being spoken and knew I had to stay.
I waited for you to arrive I wanted you to be near.
I knew that you would want to be with me our bond was oh so clear.
I know I gave you a previous scare but I choose to stay you see.
To help you through the recent weeks and love you more each day.
I saw your face and felt your love and I knew my work was done.
Be strong, be wise, be kind to you, for your the only one.
My spirit is with you night and day so remember me with love.

Amethyst, tears will fall when the time is right. You have much going on and you can only take each moment as it arrives. Pumpkin doesn't need tears to know how much you loved him. I am thinking of you and sending you lots of hugs. Let me know if you want or need more. hugs to you sugax
