RIP Speedy

[luckies4me]

Well, I don't know what to say. I am in utter SHOCK!!! I am so confused, angry, sad, scared...it's like i have no emotion anymore. I don't know how to deal with all of this. I found Speedy last night, right after he died. He was curled up in the corner of his cage, and I thought he was sleeping. He wasn't. I really tried for him. He was doing SOOOOO good! And the sad thing is he was growing sweeter by the day. He used to be so grumpy, and about a week ago he was out and was so comfortable he didn't have his quills up at all. He'd never done that before. I fought so hard to save his life. I really did try for you Speedy. I am so sorry I failed you. I did the best I could, and even though you were a grump you had such a unique personality and I loved you so much. I really miss you. I love you so much you don't even know, and I wanted you to get better. I am thankful you trusted me towards the end. That meant so much to me. I will always think of you and remember the funny times we had. Like when Eli stuck his finger into the cage and you went crazy trying to lick it, and then slobbered all over your back, LOL. You were so silly sometimes you know that? I will miss you and love you forever. Flower and Spike say hello, and they hope you are enjoying the endless supply of waxworms and toilet paper rolls at the bridge.

Attached is a photo of Speedy doing what he does best, being a grump. =P
