This morning we made the decision to have Mickey, our 9 month old Dragon, put to sleep. As some of you know, he has not been well since October, with what we suspect is a virus, but as long as he had a fair quality of life, we tried to do all we and our Vet could for him.
This past week he became much sicker and by yesterday, that quality was no longer there, or able to recover it and it was time to be a responsible pet owner and let him go.
Mickey was from the Godzilla-Gold Froggy blood line and a trooper til the end. Above is a picture of him before his health failed him again.
Just prior to passing away, he turned back to the glorious gold with lavender color he had as a baby and that we first knew him as. I think that was his way of saying "remember me like this, not how I have been lately"
Thank you Mickey for the priviledge of knowing you for the past 8 months and all the joy you gave us. I wish we could have had more time together, but it was not meant to be.
That is so sad:( what was he diagnosed with??? im sorry you had to go through the loss.

Aw, so sorry to hear that! It's a shame really. He must have brought joy to your lives when he was here. Rest your sweet self in peace, Mickey. Much love and condolences to you and the ones who were enchanted by your boy. Mickey is in my thoughts.
