I am devastated.
There was no warning. Nothing.
Well, alert, eating, yesterday. Ok this morning.
I came home from work and my gorgeous blotchie Bliss had died.
I had her for 8 years. She had personality.
She is buried in the garden where she used to hunt for snails.

Thanks Scott. It was such a shock.
I'm going over everything of course and wondering if there was something I didn't pick up on.

I'm so sorry Laurie, she may have fallen short on quantity but you filled her life with quality.
There are not many worse feelings than to come home to a pet who has died during your absence.

So sorry to hear that!
8 years isn't too short though. I know it's not what's expected.
Sounds like you were a great owner.
Good on you and condolences.

So sorry to hear it; my heart goes out to you.
Reptiles can be masters at hiding what's going on, and I know it can be hard to not beat oneself up wondering what you missed, but I'm telling you, sometimes there just aren't any signs to be seen or noticed.
Just know that you gave him an excellent life where he was loved and respected.

Oh Laurie I'm SO sorry! Bliss was such a cool skink.
I lost one of mine last year in a similar way- no warning, just there one day and gone the next. It was awful.
Give the other skink kids a kiss for me!

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts.
I still burst into tears when I think of her.

Laurie I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I have been away for a while because of a death in the family. The loss of a treasured pet can be just as devastating. My prayers are with you, rest in peace, Bliss.
