Awww. Poor babies, I had really hoped Derpy would pull through..Sorry again for the delay. I've worked all night on this video instead of a long post because I just don't have words. It was quite obvious from the beginning that they wouldn't make it too long, but it hardly makes the passing easier. Who knew one would come to love such a thing so much in such a short time.
Derpy passed away today. I checked on her around 7am this morning just before I left for a big local swap, and she was fine. Managed to eat a good little bit of chickyshake and was walking even better than yesterday. I checked on her as soon as I walked back in the door just before noon, and she was gone. I'm not really sure what went wrong, and I guess it doesn't much matter now..I just wish I were with her when she passed.
A sincere, resounding thank you to everyone who followed along, sent happy thoughts or prayers. I'm sure the prayers kept them going longer than they should have. Such inspirational little creatures. I'm not sure why, but it seems like, besides teaching me a few lessons myself, with other folks out there caring for them, they didn't live and die in vain. It sure seems lonelier around here now, though.
Again, thank you all so much, and here's the cheesy little video I created to commemorate their little lives.
