Memorial To Baby Our Mascot Who Has Passed

We have some very sad news!
On May 6, 2006 our mascot Baby succumed to old age and went to the rainbow bridge. Baby had been with us for 10 years fromm 1996 till yesterday. This is one of the hardest letters for us to write. Baby was part of our family, she was loved, spoiled, and had a special place in our hearts. She liked to watch my husband was dishes, she sat on his shoulders. Baby did not like mirrors she would rear up and give a real nasty look to the iggy in the mirror.
We recieved Baby from a pet store nobody wanted her she came with a cage mate Iggy who passed over the bridge several years ago. We took them in and they were just the perfect iguanas. Over the next few years Baby did educational shows with us she loved entertaining the crowds and she loved the kids. On the way to an educatinal show she would ride on the dash of the car we reieved some of the strangest looks from other drivers. That was Baby's spot and she took many rides with us, she went all over with us just enjoying the scenery. As Baby got older she retired to a life of riley! We have a son that is challenged and the two of them were best buddies they hid in the kitchen cabinet together. Trevor always had a hidding spot for. The day before she passed she enjoyed having a nice warm bath with Blinky and they chowed on their fresh greens and veggies and a little treat.
We knew her health was declining and knew we would have to make a decision eventualy!
Baby just went to sleep it was a shock she was interactive in the morning and early afternoon. We went over to give them their good night misting and Baby was gone!!!!
This letter is written as tears stream down my face!
Baby taught us so much and loved everyone! Baby will remain our mascot. Please remember her in your thoughts today.
Thank you
Noreen

Noreen. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, rest assured that Baby led a wonderful life in your care and I'm sure she's looking down on you and waiting for you to meet her on the other side of the brifge. God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss of baby. I have a girl that is 13 years old and I am not looking forward to when her time comes. I know you are sad and it will take time to greave your loss. Baby was a very lucky girl and it sounds like you gave her a wonderful life and she passed a very happy girl.

Prayers are with you and your family at this time.
