my little baby has gone to rainbow bridge…
yesterday, i came home from work and when I checked my spider’s enclosure I immediately knew what had happened. I cried like a baby to see King had gone.
I knew that his time was running short. It has been officially one year and five months since I first got him as a baby. His movement has been slow and I havent seen him jump in months. And yet, I still had hope seeing him crawl around everyday and have his bursts of energy. today was an unexpected day because I had just fed him several days ago and gave him some water in the morning. but at least he had a full belly. there was still a piece of hope that we would make it to two years together. but unfortunately for male regals their life span usually averages out at around one year.
Nevertheless I am so grateful for this little guy who has brought me so much joy. I will always remember him in my heart and I will never forget him as one of the best pets I’ve ever owned. I loved talking about him and taking videos of his silly moments where he was crawling on me, jumping across my keyboard or tablet, or waving his arms around in the air. I believe our last responsibility as owners is to never forget our love for our pet. I love you king <3
Even though I loved my little King, death is something we cannot prevent no matter how hard we try. We have to accept it. I feel a little sad that i will be burying my baby on mother’s day. but i hope that Ive been a great mother raising him and I hope that he had a fulfilling life as a spider. I pour my hearts out to everyone and I wish comfort for everyone who has gone through loss🕷️❤️.
I’ll be crossing rainbow bridge with you when I get there King 🌈💚 dont worry, you wont be alone
