RIP Taffy =(

Some of you might have seen the thread I made earlier about Taffy not doing all that great. Yesterday he seemed so much better, he was scooting around more, eating so much, and was able to put weight on his back legs.

This morning when I woke up, Taffy had moved from where I put him last nights. He was laying with his face in the bedding and barley breathing. I moved him by his water and food, but than I had to go to school. I just had a bad feeling this morning. My dad told me around 10:00 am he went up to my room to check on him, and he was gone.

Enjoying a warm days last year. Snowy was never far from him, she would lay in the grass and fall asleep next to him in the sun.

This picture is now my desktop. I beleive that that was the last time he was outside. I think that might be one of my favorite pictures. He was always so curious about the camara.

RIP Tafers, I miss you! :(

I'm so sorry. :( ((hugs)) R.I.P. Taffy. :(

I'm sorry about Taffy. :( He had a good and happy life with you. May he Rest in Peace.

I'm so sorry :( ((((((Hugs))))))) Taffy was gorgeous and lived a long happy life with you!! Rest easy Taffy...

Thank you everyone.

I miss him so much. I keep catching myself thinking that I need to go check on him, or that I need to bring him a snack.

:( :( :(

I'm so sorry. I know he was very special.

RIP taffy :(

I'm so sorry for your loss. I loved Taffy! :(

I'm so sorry for you! :( Taffy can now play peacefully at the RB, with wonderful friends!

I'm so sorry to read this. :( {{{HUGS}}} to you.
RIP always, Taffy.

All of these comments mean so much to me.

When I was at school yesterday, I told one of my friends that he died. She just said "Oh, well...I don't think you liked him that much anyways. Why don't you just get another one?" That really upset me....She did apologize when she realized that it hurt me, though. My other friend (who is a huge animal lover, too) felt really bad and tried to make me feel better.

I'm just glad that I know he is ok now. I'm glad he died peacefully and before he went he had one day where he seemed so much better. I was really, really scared that he was going to get sores from laying on the same side and that they would get infected. I'm just glad that he is better now.

I found a few more pictures that I thought some of you might enjoy. I'm not sure if I've posted these before...

Sorry for posting so many photos. I'm just really glad that I took so many of him while I had the chance.

Im so sorry for your loss

Thank you.

Its been a little over a week now...The marks in the carpet from his cage are still there.

Oh sweetie! I just saw this and I feel horrible :(

R.I.P. Sweet Taffy you lived a good life with your momma who loved you very much!

I just saw this! Oh my gosh. I am so sorry.. I hope you know Taffy is in alot better place with no pain, but I know he lived a very happy life with you.

-hugs-

Thanks :( I still miss him a lot, but I know that where he is now he is ok.

Last Tuesday, one month after Taffy died, I got a letter from Orphans of the Storm animal shelter (http://www.orphansofthestorm.com/) My cousin donated some money in Taffy's name. That is one of my favorite shelters around here, and they really deserve the money they got. They are such a fantastic shelter and take such great care of the animals there. It made me so happy to get the letter from them, and I sent a BIG thank you to my cousin.

RIP Taffy. I saw your sig but could not bring myself to open this thread. Orphans sertainly did need the money, now he can also be remembered by others.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my chihuahua 12 years ago and it still feels like yesterday when I had to put him to sleep. He had been a part of my life from the time I was 12 yrs. old 'til I was 27. I don't think I'll ever get over it. :(
