I am so so sorry. We were all following the little man, looking forward to updates every day. You must be so sad… But you gave that tortoise the very best of care, and you should feel good about that.

Thank you all. Its just hard when you think they are going to make it and start planning your future just to turn around and buy an eco casket for this little baby you poor your heart in soul into. My only comfort is that he looked peaceful so I'm hoping that means he wasn't in pain.

You do have another comfort. That you gave him a chance to live. And I believe every creature has the capacity to feel loved and cared for. Little Sullivan would never have known that feeling if you hadn't brought him home that day. The feeling of being treasured is a gift...you gave that to him.

Please no judgements on how he is buried it was for my benefit to say goodbye in my own way. My pets mean the world to me no matter how long I have had them. I’m sorry if the picture offends you.

No one should ever be offended by how someone else grieves. We do what we have to do to survive the loss and move on. I think you have honored Sullivan's short life in a lovely way! Don't let anyone tell you different!
