Smudge Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We lost Onion this morning. It was a bit of a shock as she seemed in perfect health when I put them to bed last night, but when I went to let them out this morning, she didn't appear and I thought she was maybe on the nest so I took a peep but..... sorry it still brings me to tears, silly I know but this is the first one we've lost and you get so fond of them. She wasn't even 2 years old, and showing no signs of illness so I presume it would have been her heart. RIP Onion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan08 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sorry to hear your bad news, on a positive note it doesnt sound as though she suffered in anyway. Sudden death is hard for us, but much easier for the deceased - that goes for us humans too. Keep your chin up. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
