Just this morning the vet had called me to tell me (at 7:30 AM) that my Leopard Gecko, Chili, had passed away of pneumonia. Yesterday was the last I got to see him. You guys might remember him, from a few boards back showing our pets. I was so happy to have him, so proud to own such a gorgeous little animal. he was less than a year old. I can't help but think it was my fault, although common sense tells me it just happens to these little guys when they get stressed out I just wanted to share this because I might not be on for a few days, I've been so sad and so upset over this. Here is a picture of him: I was hoping maybe you guys could just say a few prayers. It would mean a lot to me. I miss him dearly.

I'm so sorry, Anna. I'm sure you'll really miss him. Please don't blame yourself...I'm sure it wasn't anything you could've prevented.
Best to you during this sad time.

Thank you guys for all of your sweet comments, I appreciate them. They made my day.
Mouse, actually, my first Leopard gecko died within a week (she was sick when I bought her). Now I suppose I know the signs of the sickness and will do my best to prevent it again if I do get another reptile (I love them).
Again, I appreciate all of your prayers. (: It made me smile, you all are so nice to me.

I am sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose an animal.
If you ever do decide to get a reptile again let me know, I pretty much specialize in animal care for lizards, cats, dogs and ferrets.

As many others say, it is hard to lose a pet. Even another one will never have that same feeling and it will never be replaced. Keep your head up, would you rather him of stayed alive in pain or death with no more pain? Think of him. He loved you and Gillian. Pets are so hard to forget about. I am terribly sorry!

Thanks guys for your kind words of support. Mouse, I have never thought of getting one, but, I am sure my mom would not allow it, she doesn't like rodents in the first place!
We are giving him a burial ceremony today. I hope he's in a better place now. (:
