: Hi, to all of you who don't know me well I'm Jill and Dizzy (my glider) died yesterday night. I was babysitting and my mom said she'd take care of Dizzy for me and feed her and stuff (I'm 14, I don't think you guys knew that) and I called my mom twice to see how Dizzy was I was very worried and I don't really know why, but after my mom fed her she claims she latched all three latches but when I came home Dizzy's cage was wide opened so I figured my mom was playing with her so I went and asked where Dizzy was and she said in her cage but she wasn't so I started searching frantically for Dizzy in my room not finding her and I was crying hysterically becuz we have five dogs and three cats and I just knew she was dead even though I didn't want to think that but I ended up finding her on the floor in the living room dead I picked her up she was like all wet from which ever dog killed her and I looked in her eyes and she looked soo scared. I don't know how I could have let this happen to her. I'm still crying. I loved Dizzy soo much and now she's gone my mom said she'd buy me another sugar glider but I'm not sure I could handle it cuz everytime I'd look at it he/she would probably remind me of Dizzy. I didn't have Dizzy very long. I got her August 25 and now she's gone. I can't believe she's gone. its not right! SOrry if you think I was too vivid on what happened but I had to share it with you guys. And thankyou for all the information some of you gave me about sugar gliders I really appreciated it. thanx bye

I am so sorry for you. The pain dose go away eventualy. Let time heal your pain and always remember, if you do get another glider the memories that you might have of Dizzy may be all good ones. Sometimes you can only remember the bad things
because you won't let your heart heal. Maybe a new little angle may just let your heart heal faster then you will be able to remember all of the good times you and Dizzy had. Then to wonder what new things you will get to experince with the new glider, that you might have missed
because you didn't have Dizzy long enough.
A new glider can only bring you happiness, (Because that is a gliders job, it's what they do best)
Time dose heal most pain, just think of the new glider as a curad bandade, it will cover the empty
spot in your heart until it heals on it's own.
Yoda, Surar Ree and I send all our hugs
