1 oz kitten? wow. you got soo attached didnt you?

You guys are awesome! New pics posted at:

Off for a cat nap.

That's an understatement. :\ I gave them to their new owner a day before they turned 6 weeks old because I knew if I kept them any longer I wouldn't be able to part with them. They were already eating solid food and using the litterbox, so I knew it was time.

I can only imagine the bond you're going to form with this little girl.

There's a guy I met today who fussed over a joey so much when she was first OOP that now she refuses to live with any other glider, much less mate! She's a platinum, so he was hoping to set her up with a mate, but she ONLY wants to be with her human. It's cute, lol.

Is there another site to post the pictures to that doesn't bring them up so tiny or so big? I know you are exhausted, maybe you could email them to someone that can post them for you. I would love to see Sprout up close with out the blurriness.

Great job!!

YAY Sprout! Beth your doing an awesome job!!!

The little baby that could... we made it through the night!!!


I will try to post the pics somewhere else- that site is go0fy, but I cant for some reason get an album open on here. I'd be happy to email them to someone.

my skeptical hubby who has tons of experience with small animal development is WAY shocked...lol. to be honest I am too, but man she is a trooper.

She's gonna be a fuzzy barnacle to me if she hangs in there.

Beth - you can send me the pics if you want. I'll upload them for you - but won't be able to get to it until this evening. I'm selfish - I just want to see them!

I'm so impressed with this little barnacle! And with her very good mommy!

awesome, thanks!!!

It's been awhile how is the littlest Sprout?? I have been praying constantly for this little one what a little angel and a fighter too!!

Read Part 2

Read Part 1

at the end of the orphaned joey post it says read part 2, i click that and it says read part one.... ?

Same here?

That's because where it says "read part 1" is the start of part 2

ok. sorry I have not updated since this morning. Sprout passed away this afternoon. I took her out of my bra to feed her and her breathing was labored and she wasnt as active, I tried to do what I could, but she died pretty quickly.

I am feeling very baby-less right now... against my best efforts I started to get hopeful about Sprout and very happy with the idea of having another baby to bond with. (Smudge is the active curious(not as cuddly) type and my male was an adult rescue so he's not bonded with me as much as she is).

I want to thank everyone for the amazing support you all gave me. It really helped me get through 4 stressful days. You guys are awesome.

I am so sorry. She did beat the odds for a long time.

Beth - I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I know you must be so sad. Big Hugs!

She was a brave little fighter, and she knew love.

So very sorry to hear - was keeping my fingers crossed. She knew she was loved and that really matters alot.

thanks, I tried to keep expectations realistic but at the same time after 4 days I started to be tiny bit hopeful, she was very very cute and a miracle in the first place.

I think it's a bit harder because 2 months ago my Smudge lost our first joey right after I neutered Darby, and I was there when she died 2 days oop. I got very attached to the idea of a baby then too- [censored] maternal instincts. lol.

I'm so sorry Beth

oh Beth im sorry...

oops! I didnt mean to curse! should have put darn.

My heart goes out to you Beth...just having her for this short of a time doesn't make it any easier. It's probably harder. We were all pulling for her, but we know she'll be waiting for us across the rainbow bridge.

She knew she was loved thru the very end.

I'm so sorry Beth You did a wonderful job with taking care of Sprout...She will always remember the love and care that you gave to her. Thank you for everything that you did to help her ...... Godspeed Sweet Baby Girl

i am so sorry. i know how much you cared for her. thanks for helping her out.

Beth I am so sorry. Know you did everything you could for her and she put up a good fight too.

Hugs

Beth, My heart is with you!! I was dreading the awful news.
But knowing that someone so sweet and caring had her in their care makes it a little easier. She had the best care that I could provide for her. If you need a sitter for the babies im so here i have a lot more experience with them,Im sure your are in extreme need of sleep. Im glad i found someone like you to give sprout a chance. With my seven children,four dogs,cat,ferret,and two suggies,I wounldnt had a fighting chance to do all you did for her,she and you will always hold a special place in my heart!!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF "OUR LITTLE SPROUT"

Oh beth, I sat here and read all four pages of this and i was so upset and near tears when I saw that sprout passed. you did a fantastic job trying to raise her. At least you tried and i know she is grateful for that. My prayers go out to you.
