The loss of Ralphie

[tunes]

Shayna made the only decision she could to help her special friend Ralphie cross over the bridge today. She saw the dental specialist, and the roots of his teeth were very much abnormal and growing upward into his nasal passages. The decision to put him to sleep wasn't the difficult part, saying good-bye was.

I posted this for Shayna after talking with her on Yahoo, because she's feeling very emotional right now and unable to do it for herself at this point. She knows there are many people who were concerned for her handsome little man, and she wanted to share the news with them.

RIP Ralphie. I will miss your smiling face as you sit so prettily for Shayna to give you those scritches you love so much. You will be missed.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to come on here today and read something like this. I knew Ralphie was going to the doctor today, and I dreaded even coming here....

Shayna, I am so, so sorry. You know I'm here for you, to cry to, to talk to, to rant to, whatever you need. You are a great friend to me and I will be here for whatever you need. You were a great chin mom, and both Gregory and Ralphie knew that. It was obvious in all of the pictures you posted, how happy your babies were.

Ralph, you were a beautiful chin- one of my favorites- you were the one that made me get my very own black bear chinnie. May you rest peacefully where there is no pain and unlimited chew sticks, treats, and toys. Watch over your momma...all of my chin angels will be there to show you the way.

Rest in Peace, Ralphie. Big HUGS to you, Shayna. :broken:

Awww Shayna I'm so sorry. Ralphie was such a cutie and I'll miss your stories of him. You've had such an unfair experience with your babies. Lots of hugs.

Shayna, my heartfelt deepest sympathies. You and Ralphie were all I thought about this morning, thank you for doing right by him. Ralphie and Gregory are together now keeping each other company and smiling down on you. His beautiful face we will never forget! Hugs to you Shayna, I am so sorry.

I am so sorry, Shayna. My stomach dropped at the title of this thread, I am heartbroken for you.

sleep well, little one.

Shayna, I am so sorry. *huge hugs*

You had the courage to give Ralphie the last and greatest gift possible, releasing him from pain and an ailment that couldn't be fixed. As usual, your decision put Ralphie's needs above your own and you selflessly let him go for his greater good. Thank you for that.

Ralphie will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who met him in person or through your loving posts on the internet. Sleep well sweet man.

To my dear special Ralphie:
You will be sadly missed by your beautiful human momma, Shayna, and you will be missed by her friends--you will be missed be me, Ralphie.
I know you are in a better place. I know today you play with Gregory and she is showing you the ropes across the rainbow bridge. I told Lisa to look for you, Ralphie and I'm sure by now you two are already friends!
You gave a lot of love and joy to us all, and we will miss you.
But someday soon we will be with you again!

Blessings to you, Shayna. You are a wonderful, loving woman who shared so much of herself with Ralphie and Gregory. I love you and will always be here for you.

Thank you Peggy, for posting for me. I still don't have words to express how much Ralphie meant to me and how much I am going to miss him. I know he knows though, and that might just have to be enough.

Thank you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers for me and Ralphie.

All of you are truly amazing people, and I am very blessed to have friends such as yourselves. You are the only people I know who can really understand what this is like. They're not "just rodents".

There is so much I want to say to Ralphie, and all of you, but I just can't right now.

Oh, Shayna, I'm so sorry for your loss. :flowers5:

Ralphie knew that you loved him and that you made the best, most difficult decision for him to keep him from suffering. He will be your Chinnie Angel watching over you from Chinnie Heaven along with Gregory and all of our other beloved chinnies. Hugs to you...

Oh Shayna, I know how much Ralphie meant to you especially after your loss of Gregory. I'm so sorry to hear about this, my heart breaks for you.
Please rest easy knowing you are a great chin mom and gave him a wonderful life with so much love.

Rest peacefully, sweet boy.
