Sleep well Amélie

After a visit to the vet and an x-ray, we got the explanation why Amélie disliked to be held. She had a hernia in her diaphragm, so the intestines pushed on her lungs and she had trouble breathing when held over her chest. She was just as playful as her siblings and very cuddly as long as she stood on the floor, but the past days we have wondered whether it might be something wrong with her chest. The veterinarian said it was very unusual and nothing to worry about concerning heredity, but the prognosis if we would have kept her alive was quite bad. She was a very sweet, social and lovely girl and we will miss her a lot. She made quite an impression and we will always remember sweet Amélie...
