Lost a baby squirrel and for some reason I feel horrible like I lost my precious cat boyboy. It was found us and was only with us a few days but for some reason it hurts bad.
*hugs* The whole family felt terrible when the baby bird we rescued died after seemingly passing the hurdle of the first several weeks. We just successfully rehabilitated a butterfly with a torn wing & gimpy leg and letting it go was hard, too. *hugs again*
Awww, I'm sorry. Each little life seems so precious when it touches us that way. We have a nest of baby birds in the garage and feel like we can't close the garage door during daylight until they've flown away -- awkward when going to lessons, running errands, etc.
