Good bye, Snaps………
Snaps,
two days have gone by since we had to make this terrible decision for you – we just didn’t want for you to suffer since you had always been such an active baby. Two days where we cried until our eyes burned, two days where we listened if the noise of your claws on the wood floors would come back, two days where we missed you so terribly in our bed. You always loved to smear your face on my glasses, would walk back and forth to find the right spot right next to or even on me. You loved to jump on my lap when I sat down to read my emails and blocked the view to the screen. I miss that so much! There is no Snapper Kiddy there anymore when we sit down to eat, trying to get something from mommie’s plate – you always had to see what mommy is eating…..
I remember when I first came here, you were the first to warm up to me although Daddy thought you would never get close to a woman again after your bad experiences. But since then you had always been the most jealous little boy when one of our other babies came close to me.
This event came so quickly, so unexpected, we certainly were absolutely not ready to let you go. You can be sure that you will always have the place in our hearts that you had all the time and that we will never forget you. Be happy now, without pain, maybe even with a tail that’s straightened out again. Play with Moritz and Buttons and have a lot of fun together with them. Don’t forget your mommy and Daddy, they still love you so much!
