I am sorry for the loss of your sweet pet, and although I am so happy we had almost 11 amazing years with Tiki, I thought he would live to at least 15 years or maybe I would get lucky and get 18 out of him...
I am sure Tiki is pissed off at me for this. He was such a spunky guy, he never would have chosen to die, when he still had so much love and fun left in him. He was extra-ordinary and loved me as much as I loved him.
He never ever would have blamed me for this. He would want me to continue on and be happy and remember the good times. But if he could talk he would be as pissed off at I am. I am sure we both feel cheated by this...
Sadi, my sweet Sadi. Sadi is gorgeous, tiny, shy, a Mama's girl, cuddly, needy, and not too bright. I don't think she fully understands what has happened. I love her to bits and I am sooooooo thankful I still have my sweet baby girl...
Just so you know, Tiki was brilliant, larger, confident, independent, loyal to a fault, did not like to cuddle, but would hug or kiss on request. He did not like to be held, he loved to PLAY!! and eat!! (he was not fat at all). But was my alarm clock for everything. Meals, snacks, going outside, getting up, going to bed, you name it. He kept all of us on a schedule.
He was VERY interactive, and he had a BIG presence in the room. He insisted on being noticed. He is greatly missed. Everything is so quiet and calm... and sad...
Thanks for listening... hugs |
