I am so, so very sorry. You are doing what is best for her, even though it is tearing your heart out. I'm glad you will be able to see her, so maybe she can have the best of all worlds, with your visiting her, and her getting the care she needs. I am sure she will not forget you!

I'm so sorry to hear this. You did the right thing for your baby even though I know how painful it is for you. *hugs*

Sweetie, NO WAY can Peanut forget you! We aren't far apart and you can see her as often as you want/can! When the weather warms up soon, you can see her even more. I will also be sending pictures via email and we can talk on the phone

I am also making up pics for you to put in REAL picture frames. I have a photo maker, not printer but actual PHOTOS.

Peanut will do well, she has all of us taking care of her and has SO MANY people who love her!

She IS living because you got her away from the breeder/seller who had her. We can never ever thank her angel enough either.

I wish we knew more about her and why she has these soft bone issues along with other problems.

Dr. Williams said she wishes she knew more about her past and even app. her age. All we know is she is an older glider but not how old. She may have been used as a breeder and when she stopped having joeys, they put her up for sale. Lots of breeders do that, why, I have no clue. It's like the animals become disposable when they no longer meet the breeders' "needs" (wants is more like it).

Peanut has had lots of stress both physical and mental. She will overcome the mental eventually and we are praying she will live many more years.

She is NOT in any pain right now. I knew immediately something was wrong the night she cried out, I went to her and she had peed on herself some a thick liquid. It was a UTI and she was treated ASAP.

I moved her to the living room sweetie and "I" moved in there also. (lol) I sleep on the couch now app. 5 feet from her WHEN I sleep.

She has gained only the 10 grams since before losing her leg and is now up to 62 grams. (without her leg) She will gain more weight but I don't want her to gain it too fast or too much and put any undue stress on her bones.

Don't worry about her falling either. I have her little "house" so booby trapped even a mouse couldn't fall in it.

All her scabs are gone now, no worries about her biting herself by overgrooming them.

You will ALWAYS be her mommy! She only knows me as Aunt B...the strange lady who talks to her constantly and packs her around...wakes her up every 4 hours to eat and probably wishes I would just let her sleep!

You might be seeing her even MORE often. We are thinking of moving up that way if we can find a house up there

I just want to see her all the time again. But we don't always get what we want. I'll live.
I know you take amazing care of her. THAT I will never worry about.


Your moving close possibly? That's the best news I've heard all year. My year so far has been a little tragic, so this is big for me.

I know it's hard, but you have Peanuts best interest at heart and that makes you a wonderful mom.

I know it's hard, but you've made a good decision here (I know you know that, too). You are really putting the glider first here.

We are going to try to move up there, it does depend on what we can find of course. In the meantime, we are still close, thank goodness not states apart!

Updates considering I haven't in awhile.
I haven't been on in forever because of the staph infection I got. It was recurrent 3 times over the period of a month. I wasn't allowed to play with my gliders or hold them either. Now that is a looooonnnngggg month.

Peanut has been doing fairly good from everything I've been hearing from sugarblossoms. I really want to come and see her this weekend or next weekend. Any time for that matter. I seen a slideshow of pictures she's in, and it made me want to see her so much more. I love that she's happy, but hurts that she's not here. Sugarblossoms is taking amazing care of her, and I know Peanut will always be happy as long as she stays there. I just wish there was some way for her to come home to me.

But as of now, I have only heard that she is doing good. So that's good news.

And sugarblossoms, yahoo mail is working horribly for me. So I think I'm going to get another email address. I'll call you tomorrow though to see how she's doing!

And Linda, everyone here says hi!!
