Default RIP Snuff....

with huge amounts of sorrow i have to announce the death of Snuff..

as many will know, Snuff was my albino female skunk, the first of the skunks i owned..

I found her dead a few weeks ago, as many of my friends will be aware of via facebook, but this is the first chance i have had to get on here and leave a memorial thread to my baby..

She was fine fit and healthy one night, ate dinner as normal, and shared the same food mix as the other 20 skunks i currently have. There was nothing in the dinner she had not had before, and none of the other skunks showed any signs of problems subsequently

She showed no signs of any illness, no trauma, bed was not messed up, had not been sick, or messed herself, face was calm and peaceful, not bitten her tongue.. (no signs of fitting, seizure for instance)

she was just not there any more.. she was still warm to the touch, and not stiff.. i did spend a long time trying mouth to mouth.. although in my heart i knew it was too late, by this time it was 4am or so, so i tucked her into my chest and cuddled her till morning

She is on ice for the time being whilst i source a decent pm. it breaks my heart everytime i look at the freezer but there you go..

i was honoured to share her life, and priviledged to be able to share her with so many other people, she literally met thousands of people in her short life

Snuff, i miss you littleone, and always will...

sleep well sweetheart, and see you in the next life..

Nerys I am so so sorry to hear your sad news of Snuff

I met one of your others, (Pro was it?) when you came to my house with snakes some time back. How old was Snuff? The pictures are adorable.

Oh Nerys! My deepest sympathies. She clearly meant the world to you and was an absolutely beautiful girl.
There is not a lot that can be said at times like this. She will always be with you in your memories.
Best wishes.
