RIP Chikira

I would be lying if I said we had the tightest bond. We were getting there. You allowed me to pet you 2 days ago, without yelling at me or running away. My eyes watered "We're doing it!" I exclaimed.. sweet girl, you were in this world for about 6 months, 5 with us, and you left your mark. I worry now about your sister Blue, keep her company if you could.. it seems as though she's looking for you 😔

My husband found Chikira looking cozy, as if resting in a dirt bath. But she was no longer with us. She had no obvious marks or signs that could tell us what went wrong. We are located in Central TX, high of 84° today, I don't think that's the cause, but who knows anymore 😔
