I am so sad today. I live on a farm, I am used to animals dyeing, I've been saddened by the loss of beloved dogs and cats, but my little baby Athansor died today. I feel like a crazy person being this upset. I'm alone in my turtle/tortoise love in my family. About 4 weeks ago an unusual winter ice storm hit our area resulting in widespread power outages. My family (including Athansor) stayed at the fireplace and we where able to keep the house at 40•F for about 2 days before power was restored. I kept him touching my skin, kept my kiddos under mountains of blankets. I followed vet instructions and when power was on back to his lights. I could not get him to eat, he barley moved. I am heartbroken to loose my little fiend, but hate that the proses drug out doe so long, he was so sick. Anyway, I found this forum. I don't have a tortoise anymore, but I thought you guys might understand my loss. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
