The Real Dragon Has Left The Building.

[Dragon-Judgement 1,529]

Idk...I suppose it's known that I've left Tanki for a "long" time now...I don't even remember the last time I even got online as far as a server is concerned...

 

But anyway. I believe many are aware that I owned a Bearded Dragon; The Big Boss...

 

Recently, I've left the U.S. (back in January to be exact) to stay in Egypt for some time to do a few things; and prior to that, and unknown to me, Big Boss had fallen ill. He had appeared to be very stubborn, lazy, and just...out of it really I guess you can say...I thought he was dealing with his Brumation cycle; which is similar to Hibernation, in the reptile world.

 

There had to have been something else wrong with him so we scheduled a vet visit just over 24 hours before I left the States. He came back okay, from what was apparent.

 

2 months later I come to know that his state had worsened since my departure from the U.S. and he had been taken back to the vet twice. I suggested to my brother that he have a blood test in order for The Big Boss. Evidently something was terribly wron and we needed to know what it was. The blood test was administrated, and the vet noticed his White Blood cells had increased to a deadly level in his system; which called for either cancer, or a very serious infection (I can't recall its' name at the moment). The vets suggested they keep him in intensive care...

 

He didn't make it to the next day. Whatever illness he ended up contracting; we were too late to save him. I was too late. Because I should have known from the beginning that he needed to be looked at in more detail.

 

Might sound crazy but The Big Boss was my best friend. Although me and my brother were on top of his health, I always went that extra mile for him. And you know...the fact I was absent when he passed away really hurt. Heck, it hurts now; I'm depressed to be honest.

 

And I'm not gonna make this a whole drawn out thing, but my life's been upside down since he died. I mean I never expected him to live as long as he did; almost 4 years. People who have Beardies who are almost 4, 5, 7, 10 years old...that's a blessing, and there are some memories in that time. But at that tail end of their lives, and you're nowhere to be seen? It makes you feel like you betrayed them. Or at least...that's how I felt, and still feel now.

 

 

Kinda scratching my chin now, this is an awkward way for me to be re-entering the Forum, haha...but ey. I guess it could be weirder?

 

R.I.P The Big Boss. 2013 (I don't know his exact birth date) - March 16, 2017. He indeed was a real Dragon.
