Today Denise and I rescued an injured Squirrel. Every where we called said they could only put him down. So we tried to take care of him. He passed an hour ago. We called him Buddy. I don't know why I'm taking this so hard. Maybe I'm an old softy, but this felt like a punch to the guts. Make fun of me if you want. But right now I can barely hold back the tears. Sure it was just a squirrel, but I feel like I failed him. I dunno, It's silly but I can't help feeling sad.

Oi bud, sounds harsh.
But I know how you feel. Its pretty much the same reason I don't have a pet of my own. I always fear that if something would happen to it that I would feel responsible and couldn't help it.
Thanks Kinsei. At least I tried. Most people would have just passed it by and not even loo at it. But me and my girlfriend say a little guy scared and injured and in need of help. I really hope he's in a better place now. I agree with the pet thing though. I have a lot of pets and I just know I'm going to be devastated when there gone.

You tried to save a creature's life, and you couldn't. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do. I know it's a hard thing to accept, and in yer mind you think you failed, even when you didn't.
Not sure if that made any sense but...

No it did. Thanks. That actually means a lot. Really, thank you.
