Memorials / Re: Goodbye Petey

« on: April 22, 2010, 06:06:41 AM »

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a chinchilla that captured the largest part of my heart some years ago. After he passed away, I could hardly stand it and cried ever time I looked at his cage. I told myself that I would never get another chin, but just honor his memory of the six years that I had him. However, one day I bought another chin and I felt like I was dishonoring Billy's memory. I soon realized that Billy had taught me how to care for chins and love them, and he would want me to take care of one of his brother or sister chins. There is not a day that goes by that I don't remember Billy, but I now have several precious chins that fill my heart with joy and I love very much. I would be very lonely and heartbroken without them. Four posts below yours is the poem that I wrote after Billy passed, I hope you read it "Chinchilla in a Locket", and you will know I felt like you do. I am so sorry about Petey.

I wanted to win too, ha. All the chins are so cute, and that beautiful tan wrap baby holding the stick was to cute. They are all winners especially in our hearts.

January 23, today is the day that my sweet Billy passed away, and is a very hard day for me. I have other sweet loving chins, but I have never had the connection with a chin that I had with Billy. Billy was that one special one that is with you every day till you get to the Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry to hear about Little Girl, but she had a very good and long life. Little Girl was lucky that she had the two most loving and knowlegable caretakers possible. With the love and excellent care she lived longer than any chin I know. I am sure that she is at the Rainbow Bridge talking about all the good years of care she had.[img] [/img]

Memorials / Re: Saying Goodbye to Schroeder

If Schroeder came from a bad situation before you got him, I am so glad that he had some good quality time with nice things at the end. He was so beautiful and sweet, and I am sure too that he appreciated the nice things and love you gave him. I know how hard it is as I still miss my Billy so much, but Schroeder is waiting for you at the end of the Rainbow Bridge.

It was very sad, but yes I did take some little pieces of his fur and I had saved a couple whiskers that fell out over the years. The fur and whiskers are in a very tiny little bag by his urn. The poem is on a sheet of paper that is light blue with white clouds on it, which is framed and sitting behind the urn. The little bag is by the urn. It was very hard for me to take the fur, but I just telling myself it will be ashes later. Now, I am glad that I have it. Thank you for your kind words, and I am so sorry for your loss.

Schroeder was so young and beautiful, it is hard to understand what could have happened. The picture of him in the wheel is my favorite, and it shows his sweet little face. He looked happy and loved, and I know he still is while he waits at the Rainbow Bridge for you.

Your chinnies sound so wonderful, but only three pictures showed up and everything else was just a white square. I wanted to see the pictures so bad. None of babies for sale had a picture that would show up, hope that you get it fixed.

I am so glad that you liked the poem. I think that is how we feel when we loose one that is very close to us. I know that Billy would be happy that you cared enough to reply. I print out all responses to the poem and put it on his memorial shelf. Thank you, Donna

Thank you for the kind words about the poem. I am sure that Volley and Billy know that we felt so much love for them. Our little angels will play together at the Rainbow Bridge until we come for them. Until then, they remain in that special part of our heart.

I am so thankful that Honey survived, what scary thing. Quick vet care is the best, and I always keep a bag of Critical Care on hand as it has saved many of mine. Feeding syringes are good to keep with the CC. You did some good work and you are right on target with the improvements in care. Good luck to you and Honey.

Memorials / Re: RIP Volley

« on: May 08, 2009, 05:09:46 AM »

I am so sorry to hear about Volley, but think about all the good years of love that you gave him. I am sure that he is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge as she has great love for you too. Jo Ann is right that we all have that "one special" chin in our life even thought we love all of our chins in a special way. My special chin was Billy, and you can read the poem that I wrote about his passing under the memorial section. Go down from Volley's memorial posting to "Chinchilla in a Locket" and read that. Billy and my picture are used on the chinchilla club's signature photo. I am holding Billy in my hands by my face, now I hold him in my heart. I am sure that you will hold Volley in your heart until you met again.

Hi Deanna,
     Thank you for replying to my poem to Billy. He was so special to me that loosing him was almost to much, so I just have to remember that I will be with him again some day. I am glad to hear that you are taking care of Otis and be sure to enjoy him everyday. Every chinchinchilla is special in their own way, and they all need love.

Health / Re: HELP RESCUE CHINNYS!!!

« on: July 20, 2007, 09:53:11 PM »

You have a good heart and must be a very special person to do this. To give the toothless one a treat that would give some help with the hard stool, cut a couple little tiny pieces of fresh apple and she can pick that up like she does her pellets. Can you imagine what a violent accident it must have been to tear out her front and lower teeth (SHUDDER). She has had a horrible life until you came along. I had a chin once with a tooth problem and I put his hay in a little coffe grinder that made it almost a powder. He licked it up with his tongue until his bottom teeth grew back. He loved the taste of alpha hay. Good luck with that poor girl, I know she appreciates you help.
