So sorry for your loss. No matter how many pets you have, or what type, losing them is the hardest part of having them in your life.

Thanks again guys. You know the weirdest part is that when i found Dottie, she wasnt all twisted like a pretzel with open mouth and discolored body and stuff like you see some snakes. She was just curled up in her normal little ball like she was sleeping. I guess if anything, it looks like she didnt die painfully which is some comfort.

I would take a LOT of comfort from that, personally...she didn't appear to suffer...maybe just a heart defect that caught up with her, something like that.
Not such a long life as others, but at least a GOOD one with you...look at it that way.

Re: RIP Dottie
Your awesome big high white pied just passed away randomly. That sucks sorry to hear that. This can happen to any of us and hopefully she passed with no pain and in peace.

Re: RIP Dottie
It doesn’t seem exactly “random”, 9 months fast is a very long starvation, even for a ball python.
Not sure why she fasted like that of course, all we can do now is say our condolences.
Keep on keeping on!

Just saw this. Sorry for your loss. Was hard when I lost Lucy (RTB rescue) a few months ago. I try not to think about the short life of a Great Dane. Love my Zelda but she is almost 2 now. 8 years is average for them and she is such a sweetheart.
Sometimes you can do everything right and still have a loss. Best wishes.
