But that was an accident that will never happen again. We are all human and do the best we can with our animals. When we fall short (through no fault of our own), we blame ourselves even if there was absolutely NOTHING we could have done differently. My heart aches for you. You have now strengthened your kitten fortress so this cannot happen again. So remind yourself of all the kittens you have fostered and all the lives you have saved. Give each of Marseilles' litter mates a hug and kiss and don't beat yourself up.

Only a year ago I was in the kitchen hurrying to get dinner and and stepped back onto Hannah's front paw. (I was wearing ankle boots). I had to rush her to the vets and was lucky they had a surgeon there and he got her paw back in shape and made me promise not to wear the boots inside again). She had to be kept in a carrier for a week - unsurprisingly she wasn't happy about it but accidents just happen out the blue however careful you are.<br />Take care, <br />Luv Hannah and Lucy + MumHannah and Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349810117072020253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-52550024482895953942015-12-10T23:22:47.931-05:002015-12-10T23:22:47.931-05:00I am so sorry this happened.

Accidents happen, and accidents are often freak and always unexpected. The good thing is that you learned from this. None could have imagined this.

It's the sort that could have happened in a hundred different ways, places and times. We try our best to eliminate all possibility of bad things, but that can't be done. We don't notice things that could happen. It's occurred to me, and to everyone.<br /><br />You will feel bad over what has happened, but that's not because you caused it. It's because you are a good person. A million happy events take place but it's the one sorrowful event that stays with you. You gave Marseilles the love she needed, and that's most important.<br /><br />Godspeed, Marseilles.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-70066165594297373692015-12-10T11:22:15.449-05:002015-12-10T11:22:15.449-05:00Godspeed, Marseilles.

Although I know you're heartbroken, please remember that you always had nothing but Marseilles's best intentions in mind, just as is the case with all of the animals lucky enough to be fostered by you. You are giving these babies a chance at life that they might not otherwise have if not for you, and you did nothing to intentionally cause Marseilles's accident.<br /><br />As sad as it is and as much as we might wish otherwise, accidents do happen. And we learn from them. Everything happens for a reason. Although we might not know why, now just must have been the time when Marseilles was needed over at the Bridge.<br /><br />Hugs to you.The Menagerie Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398992091463959888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-43803902474910360712015-12-10T11:00:39.827-05:002015-12-10T11:00:39.827-05:00I am so very sorry that little Marseilles is gone,...I am so very sorry that little Marseilles is gone, and I know you are heartbroken.
