    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.

    Thank you Grif, I can't believe it myself. I went away for a few days to go to a wedding out of state. He was getting sick before I left, it killed me to leave but my folks took care of him. When I got back late last night he was super sick and I had to call the Vet this morning. When I got there he died in my hands. I think he waited for me to pass away, at least I like to think so...she said his liver gave out on him and he was just really old...she said he died of old age if you want to put it that way. He even had gout on all his little fingers but I feel at peace knowing we were together at the end....

    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.
