I lost Earl

[jessica]

Earl took his last breath in my hands yesterday evening. I knew he had health problems when I brought him home, what I didn't know was how attached I would become. He finally past after a long battle with a bone infection and liver failure.

It was a pleasure and a blessing to be Earls keeper. We had a bond that most people can only dream of having with their chameleons. I'm so heartbroken my eyes are raw from the tears. I already miss him.

 

[Eltortu]

Wow, sorry to hear that.

 

[Eltortu]

How old was Earl? Do you have any other chameleons?

 

[carol5208]

Sorry to hear about your cham. It is amazing how attached you can become to these guys. I am sure that you gave him a wonderful life while in your care.

Thank you Scott and Elizadolots. Earl was a very special boy to me and will always have a place in my heart. My first beautiful Melleri.

The weather here finally let up enough for me to lay him to rest under the tree he loved to watch the sparrows in.
