Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the advise, but, unfortunately, Yugi died the morning I was to take him to the vet.(friday) I'm really heartbroken about it, and so is my 6 year old. I don't think I will be getting another one. I don't want to take the chance of possibly going thru this again. Especially the heartache my son felt when I had to tell him.

Thanks again for the support and feedback. I'll be reading the posts, here and there, maybe, I may get another one...but not any time soon.

Have a great holiday season and New Year!

Marilyn

I'm so sorry to hear about Yugi. My condolences!

Thats just awful, and I know how sad you and your son must be. Its devastating when you lose a pet, any pet.

But I sure hope you and your son don't give up on uro's or any lizard, they can be so enjoyable and fun to learn about, just an awesome experience especially for a younster.

I would take the time to feel the sadness, but let your son decide if he may want to try again soon, when you both are feeling better.

There are many out there that need a good home, and Caring people like you guys to love them.

Your Yugi is in great hands, and with all the other little critter friends we have all lost in the past. They are probably having a Ball, and CAN'T get sick anymore !

Both of you take care, hope to talk to you soon
