2 losses today

tammy lost her beloved sam...

Sam died shortly before 4:00 this afternoon. It was quick and peaceful.
He had a good day. Spent most of it sleeping on my lap.
I had him for almost 8 years but I do believe this last year when he was sick was his happiest. Due to the illness he consistently lost weight, quite a bit weight actually.
The weight loss made him feel better, become more active and he loved to play with Ripley.
He never presented as sick and if it weren’t for the blood work I would never have known.

I want to thank you for letting me bring him home. He was a gift. Ripley and I will miss him terribly. I do find some comfort knowing that it was his
time. After days of going back and forth (he was great one day, not so great the next, he bounced back and forth) I knew as I drove home that it was
the right decision. At the vet there was no argument from him, no struggle he went gently.

nugget

nugget passed away suddenly during the night without any warning. he hasn't been ill, he was in great physical shape..we are unsure what happened, he just died without us knowing anything was wrong. sadie will be lonely without nugget, we will move her in with the other chickens in a day or so.
rest in peace nugget, you weren't the super nicest rooster but that's ok, you were you and sadie really liked you.

Very Very Sorry Tammy for your loss..Sam knew love and carries it with him.

Saddened to read of Nuggets passing..he was really a character and always reminded me of the cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn.

RIP

Hugs, Tammy. So sorry to hear this. Sam was a lucky boy to have you as his "mom" and I'm sure he knew it. You gave him a dream home. Rest peacefully, Sam.

So sad also to hear about Nugget. I remember him coming into Saints as a baby. I thought he was a pretty neat guy - always stopped to say hi to him on my way out to the barn. He liked to be the center of attention. He sure didn't look sick on Sunday I shall miss him.
