stoice Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Poor loves. Poor you. At least they felt the sun on their backs, saw the sky and had a chance to do chickeny things. How sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Gosh. Wat a run of bad luck. I am sorry. I wonder if the hot weather is stressing them? I did wonder about the heat but Brandine had showed no signs of being ill at all. We've another one who looks a bit off colour as well I wonder if they were nearer 2 when they were rescued as I've heard that sometimes they can be. I know we were lucky in that we had three months with them trashing the garden and enjoying the sun, wind and rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 So sad, but as someone else said you gave them a wonderful home for their last few months. They had a great time and were able to use all their instinctive behaviours which they wouldn't have had a chance to do without you. Sending positive thoughts.

Abbey Road Girl Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I had a Jack Russell in (totally inhumane) quarrantine but the very instant she was freed (after six months of being utterly maddened--would climb up to the top of my head), she reverted to being her happy normal self. Brandine would have experienced something similar with you. She was free and happy because you rescued her from torment and allowed her to experience her proper birthright. The loss of Brandine isn't an unhappy ending (though I know that you will miss her), but more like Shakespeare's very peaceful "our revels now are ended...".
