NO!!............

You'l;all should know how baby Kahlua loves getting into mischief.

Last night, she chewed her way threw the zip ties and managed to get out of her cage.... I woke up this morning around 6, I dontknw exactly why I had woken up, because I went to sleep around 4am last night. I found my baby girl in the toilet, she was dead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I can't beleive myself, I should always double check their cage, but I never thought something like this would ever happen to me. I have the images of her just running threw my head, I cant imagine, that she was struggling all night, while I just slept in my bed.I don't even beelive this is all happenening, I am crying so much, that i cant stop throwing up. I was just taking pictures of her last night, Telling everyone how far she has come with me. I bought her, with her Brother, and she wouldnt even let me get near the cage without lunging or crabbing at me. Now, She would sleep in my bra, without a problem. She loved getting into trouble, and now my precious baby girl is gone!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/upset.gif" alt="" />

HUGS AND PRAYERS YOUR WAY <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I don;t even know how Iam going to handle this. MY hole computer is dedicated to their pictures, and every file i go into, I see her face. Their pictures are everywhere, and I everytrhing is making me so sick. She was just starting to love me, and i let her die, I cant beleive this is all happenning. My dads coming over to burry her, in her favorite pouch, that she never would leave. I don't think I can handle seeing her again, nor do I think I could handle burying her myself. Its too painful. I will miss her so much.. so so so much, I can't imagine how Bailey feels, his sister is dead! She was just 10 days short of her First birthday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" />

Oh Rosa honey... I'm SO sorry... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I know it's hard, but don't blame yourself! Things like this happen! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/upset.gif" alt="" />

Be sure little Bailey gets lots of extra loving. If you haven't already, it may be in Bailey's best interest to see her so he understands. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Be watching for my email. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

This would be my worst nightmare! My boyfriend always leaves the bathroom door open at night (and the seat up) My babies cage is right next to the bathroom.. I will let him read this, hopefully he will learn from the horrible thing that has happened to your baby!
I am so sorry for you. Please don't blame yourself.. this could have happened to anyone of us... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I wish there was something I could do for you. I know how bad things like this hurt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[:"blue"]I am so very sorry this has happened. There just seem to be no words at times like this, but know that we are all here for you. [/]

Thanks everyoine, I really am trying to get through this without being a complete idiot over it. Iam hysterical. I was suposed to be picking up 2 new girls today too, I don't know if I still will be, even though it might be a good thing for Bailey, it just really hurts. I can't even beleive it all, I keep thinking I can go in there, and see them both looking threw the bars for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> I just dont' know what Iam oing to to. I appreciate everyone here, for caring so much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> sorry to hear about your loss. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

I'm sorry to hear this. I think you should still go get the 2 girls. You'd want Bailey to be happy and if getting the 2 girls will make him happy then it'll make you happy. They need homes and I'm sure you'd give them a good one. She'd want you to be happy and not mourn over her.

[:"purple"] everyone at GC is here for you and we know it is hard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" />
Don't blame yourself though, it was an honest mistache and everyone will learn from it and will save other's glide's lives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />
I wish i could be there... i think you should pick up your new gliders today, it will help you get through this and it will also help your gliders

oh Rosa, I am so sorry!! My heart is breaking for you and little Bailey, I know how much you love them both.
Just remember that she loved you very much, you gave her a wonderful life and she will be with the other suggie angels at the rainbow bridge.

I love this poem someone posted a few days ago, I hope it gives you some peace.

"I just wanted to let you know that I made it. The trip wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take long.

Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and new. I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand God is taking good care of me...I'm in the shelter of his hands.

Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful and happy that all the angels sing. I really have to go for now...I've just been called to try my wings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" /> " <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Oh Rosa.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> I am sooo sorry for your loss.
Please know that we are all here for you.
I wish there were words that could make it all better but just know this....

She will be waiting for you at The Rainbow Bridge:

Ecclesiastes 3:20-21

19) For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them:as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast; for all is vanity.
20) All go unto one place ; all are of the dust and all turn to dust again

I'm so sorry for your loss, Rosa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/upset.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling, but don't blame yourself. She was loved while she was here on earth because of you. She still knows that you love her. I cried when I read your post. I cried because I know how much pain you must be feeling, because it's a sad thing to think about happening to a sweet little suggie, because I feel bad for her brother, and because I know it could happen to anybody. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and your little girl. Take comfort in knowing that you gave her love while she was here. Your loss reminds me to never take my gliders for granted because this could happen to anybody. It's not your fault.

(((Hugs)))

Rosa, sweetie, I'm soooooo sorry, I wish I could give you a hug in person! Kahlua would want you to get the girls, she'd want you to love them and give them a great home!
Take care and be sure Bailey get's to say his goodbyes as well, it will make the introductions easier with the new little girls.
I'm moving this to real stories for you.

Rosa...I'm in tears! I know just how much you loved your Kahulua girl. I know how much you love Bailey too. Just know that she is watching after you and her brother now and will make sure that nothing bad happens to you or her brother. She will be there to help you through your bonding experience with your two new girls and you will see her again someday.

I <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> you. We are all sending lots of suggie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> and kisses in your direction.

Aww, thank you so much everyone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> I really do appreciate it. It's so nice to have GC here. Bailey is doing OK, hes acting very odd, very quiet, and sleepy, but I only imagine how he feels. I tried to cheer him up a little, I took him to Petsmart and walmart today, he slept in my hoodie pocket the hole time I had my hand petting him. Iam in alot of pain, and so is he, but we can get threw it. I hate to get a new glider so soon, but, Im only thinking for the best of Bailey. I don't even want to put him back inthe cage,because it just feels so horrible to see him sleeping in his pillow pouch, all alone. He got so happy to see me this morning. I didnt even want to look inside theirpouch. I knew I would be missing my little girls face looking up at me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" /> I love her so much! Im going to miss her, andits going to be really tough, but i can doit!

OH Rosa, I am sorry to hear this. My heart breaks for you and Bailey. Big hug coming your way.

I just got finished planting some nice flowers over where she was buried, my mom came over and brought me a few flowers, she is buryed under the biggest tree in my neighborhood, on the side of my house. I feel so bad still, but, Im trying to move on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> I miss her! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" />

I'm so very sorry to hear this!!! I haven't been on GC as much lately, or I would have sent my sympathies much sooner. I know your baby loved you very much and know that she is waiting for you. I know that you and Bailey both miss her, but I am so happy to hear that you are keeping your resolve up. Sending hugs your way to help you be strong! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

aww, thank you so much Polgara <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Oh Rosa, my heart is breaking for you as I sit here crying for your loss :heart<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" />heart: <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

I am the writer of the poem "Letter Home" that Jazebelle put in her post to you. I hope you found a bit of comfort in it. It was written 4 wks ago today after the death of my Mambo. The pain conveyed in your post all came rushing back to me as if it were again that day for "me" 4 wks ago & I too was in the process of aquiring another girl suggie to keep my Mambo company when suddenly I lost him to SM.

I am posting this to you to let you know that I too didn't know how I could possibly go on & continue to care for my others without "MY" pain interferring...
Please know that each day gets a little better, & with each day the pain a little less, making your memories of Kahlua ones to be cherished, as will the addition of the 2 girls you were scheduled to give your love to. I got my other little girl too. Her name is LuLu & she now keeps Mambo's little brother company. So please get yours. Also, when God takes something so precious from us, he replaces it in other ways to get us through.

After returning home from my vets office, 4 wks ago, empty pouch in hand, I discovered God's gift to help me...4 wks OOP today, her name is "Baci", (I've attached a pic). Her & I will be thinking of you & hoping that each day will get a little better for your heart <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

And Rosa...if we can help in anyway, please let us know! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Oops Rosa, attached my avatar pic, so here's another of Baci. Sorry

That is so sad to hear <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />I am sitting here crying as I read this. At least she knew how much you loved her and how much she loved you. Be strong.

I am so sorry about Kahulaha. I hope your doing good Tiger Lilly. If you need to talk I will be more then happy to talk to you...

Thanks for being willing to write and share your story, to remind us all that at NO TIME should a toilet seat be up in the same house where a glider lives. NEVER, not even if you're sure your glider's safe in a cage.

I'm sorry this happened, and know how devastating it must be for you. Thanks for educating lots of new glider owners about the perils of toilets.

This reminds me that I want to install little ladders in my toilets, like BMX girl posted recently. I need to get that done, so if the unthinkable happens, they'll be able to climb out of the water until help can get there.

I'm sorry --

Oh gosh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> (Im sorry Im so late.... )
Awww Honey, Im so so very sorry.
I know your heart must hurt terribly... Im so sorry.
Please dont be too hard on yourself... it was an accident. We all know that you wouldnt intentionally do anything to harm a little one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" />

Lucy mentioned a post in a thread I made up above... I thought Id link it here just in case anyone would like to make a safety potty ladder or a safety reminder sign. (Never hurts to have a little reminder... I pray that the safety ladders will never have to be 'tested', but it does gives me a little more peace of mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Potty safety ideas...

Again, Im so so very sorry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />
