I am still in a state of shock. Just 19 days after losing Perry, we lose Lennie. He went into a moult not long after Perry left us. He stopped eating a few days ago. We went to the vet on Wed. She gave him a crop feed. We went again today as he was still not eating, but this time he had a temperature. He died less than 3 hours after we returned. I could see something was wrong & was able to hold him in my hands at the end. I think his grief over losing Perry played a part in this outcome. Lennie suffered from anxiety for a number of years & Perry was a comforting & calm influence on him. I wish he could have stayed longer... but I hope he is happy beside his friend again.

I'm so sorry sweetpea. Lennie was a sensitive soul and must have missed his pal Perry immensely. I like to think of them being reunited. Also with Dalai.

I'm sorry Sweetpea for your losses. Such a terrible, hard time you are going through.
Fly high, Lennie with your friend Perry.

Oh, heavens, sweetpea, that is so sad; losing them both so close together must be so hard. I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, dear little Lennie. I hope you are happy to be with your little bestie. We will all miss you, too.

I'm so, so sorry to hear this sweetpea. It must be terribly hard for you to lose both boys so close together. Lennie was a beautiful, special boy. I'm sure he and his best pal Perry are reunited and sharing a big bobble of millet. Sending you and Moriarty lots of love xx

I'm so sorry that I missed this sweetpea. I think I was taking a little break from the forum at the time. It's such sad news that Lennie left you. I'm glad you were with him. It's so horrible for you to loose him so soon after Perry. He was such a super little boy.

Thank you all for your kind words. Each loss hits different which I guess isn't surprising as they are all individuals.
Perry had so many ailments yet kept picking himself up & carrying on, to the point that I was thinking he was indestructible, so in the end, I was taken by surprise by his passing. Lennie's loss also took me by surprise. He had similar symptoms two years previously & I thought he would be okay within a week, yet this time he was gone in 3 days. A part of me thinks that they came into my life at the same time, that it almost seems fitting they left close to each other - forever together, Perry & Lennie.
BTW, the vet also believed that grief played a part in Lennie's death.

It’s so sad and hard, especially when unexpected. He was a beautiful boy. Hopefully they’re back together again now.
Fly high Lennie

That’s doubly sad for little Lennie, missing his little pal so much.
