    Default A piece of me died today...

    My beloved Hetfield has passed away today. I had privileged of having him in my family for over 15 years. We were soul mates and I truly believed he choose me. Finally my sweet boy is at peace... Name:  hetfieldandme.jpg

    I'm so sorry. You have always described your "sweet boy" as such. I hope you find comfort knowing what a wonderful caregiver you have been.

    Oh my! I'm so sorry Blue! You and Hetfield have been an inspiration, a wonderful pair. You gave him over 15 wonderful years and he, I'm sure, returned it in full. I hope you know what a wonderful mom you were to him and that knowing that gives you some solace now.

    I'm so very sorry Blue . I almost can believe it. You gave him much love and care and he lived a long and happy life. No one could ask for more. I believe you were soul mates and I'm sure he'll be waiting for you and him to be together again some day.

    Once again I'm truely sorry Blue.

    I am very sorry It's very easy to get attached to a pet frog, and when we lose them it's awful. Based on his age it sounds like you were an awesome pet owner and gave him a very happy life.

    Blue, I was so sad when I read the news about Hetfield. He was a tough old man and entertained you for 15 years, good frog he was and I'm sure he's entertaining the angels above. Yes I believe all thinking critters go to heaven, so unless you can prove me wrong in scripture I stand on my belief.

    Thank you very much Heatheranne, I would like to think that. He was a wonderful frog and he was a very well known frog in my family and to many friends. It's amazing how many stories people are sharing with me, that they remember him he was definitely something special
