Good bye sweet C.J.

We lost C.J. this evening.
No matter what I tried I cound not ever get her to eat. I had been getting some food in her when she hissed at me in the beginning. Mostly some critical care, I had to be so careful not to aspirate her because of her small size that I couldn't get large amounts into her. I also tried plopping bugs in her mouth but she spit most of them back out. She was with me long enough to stop being scared of me. So she stopped gaping and hissing at me. That made it even harder to get food into her. They had told me at the shop were I get her that she was eating on her own, I don't think that was true. In all the time I've know her (3 plus months) I never saw her shed a single time. A baby that eats sheds.
All that don't matter now, I was unable to get her healthy enough to survive, let alone thrive.
I had become incredibly attached to her in the short time I had with her. I'm going to miss her so very badly.
I can find some comfort knowing that she at least got to have some time in her short little life in a home where she was loved. I think she had started to understand it to. She had stopped trying to bite us and would sit with us without issue for as long as we would keep her out.
I was with her when she passed. She knew she wasn't alone. This is to hard to keeping speaking of her, it's still very raw so I'm just going to post a couple pictures of her.
Rest in peace my sweet little dragon.

You know I couldn't get passed the 3rd line. I'm so sorry about the loss. Forgive me if I'm saying what others said because I can't read this post.

You ALWAYS give beardies the best life so each and every day is av blessing to them. They leave this earth better than you found them and I know they are grateful. This is not just sadness for them but you too as you get attached. .. rightly so. Your home is full of love and I pray this doesn't dim the light that shine from within. My thoughts are with you and the entire (human and beardie) family,

Dad seems his condolences too. He said OH NOOOOOO
I says, "right dad, I can't believe it too"

He said you are a strong, good man!

Thank you 🙂 it is hard loosing them, but she was a rescue and there is always risk when you take them in.
At least she got to have a hone and love before she passed.
Two days later I took another rescue from the same place, she seems to be getting stronger every day 🙂 I think this one I'll be able to save 🙂

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
