A sad Goodbye


Medusa had been part of our Family for almost two years. She was an awesome pet for many reasons. She didn't need constant attention, didn't make any noise or smell, plus she couldn't stain the carpet. Medusa had a wonderful temperment and sometimes would even stayed curled up in my hand.

Recently she had gotten heat blisters on her. It broke my heart because it looked so painful. The Vet recommended a few things to help and how to get her humidity up. I was able to get the heata issue under control but no luck with the humidity. I made the heartbreaking decision to sell her in hopes that she would go to a good home with someone who has more experience. Medusa sold a lot quicker than I expected. The lady reassured me that her and her boyfriend have experience and that her dad is a Vet. So with a heavy heart, I handed her Medusa. As soon as she walked out our door, I started crying, sobbing even. Owen took it harder than I expected. He cried when he found out that Medusa was gone and he was upset with me for the rest of the night.

We loved Medusa and she was our first real pet. But I loved her more to give her away so she could get healthy again.

  1. I'm so sorry. It is so hard to loose a pet, wether it is to sell them to make sure they are ok or to them die. They DO become part of the family and it such a loss. Hang in there.
