The sapphire ring that makes me cry: Story time for animal-lovers

[Tourmaline]

What a beautiful life Celine had. I love how she chose you, and how you listened to that. I loved a cat like that. <3

I know some people are scared/grossed out by mice, but I mean.... look at this sweet girl and her tiny, perfect little paws.

She has the sweetest face. I’d love to see more pics!
I had a feeder mouse for a pet, way back when I was little. I loved that little guy!

awwwww what a beautiful story! So sorry for your loss, and I love the idea of this ring/stone to remember her.

Oh my, I don't cry often but this moved me to tears. Celine was certainly a trouper and your ring is a lovely memorial to her. She's also absolutely adorable!

I love the ring, and I loves your story. Our fur babies really wiggle themselves into our hearts, and never leave. I still feel pangs of sadness and that empty ache that comes with losing pets, when I think of my Bubbles - our teeny, tiny, ditsy, airhead fox terrier, who passes age 5. She's been gone for twelve years now, but is still so desperately missed by myself and DH. I wish you didn't have to experience such heartache, but I am happy that you had that wonderful time with Celine, and her with you. She was one lucky little fluffball! And super, super cute. Her wee footsies though

Her footsies were magical. And the way she used her tiny hands to hold her food....
I'm sorry to hear about Bubbles and the sadness of losing her, even 12 years on.

@roxta, she was a beautiful little mouse!
And a very lucky one, to have you as a mom!

Thank you so much.

She was beautiful! I’ve had 3 pet mice myself. Reading your story made me tear up .

Your ring is so beautiful and so unique! I absolutely love it. What a beautiful memorial for little cutie pie Celine

Aren't mice just the tiniest bundles of personality? My husband was ambivalent when I first adopted mine but it didn't take long for him to fall in love with them too. Now he wants us to keep having mice.

What a beautiful girl! Your story made me tear up. I think your ring is a lovely tribute to Celine.❤

Thank you. I'm so glad I decided to have the ring made.

It's so special when an animal chooses you. I didn't realise at the time that Celine was choosing me. But looking back on that day I adopted her, I could have just walked off with the other mouse instead of her. I don't know what made me decide to swap her at the last minute other than the voice in my head telling me to do so. It was fate.

Absolutely, I'll put together a few more pics to post.

She had so much strength for something so small. To go through the trauma she did (losing her eye, getting burns on half her body, paralysis, brain damage, cancer, etc) and still finding joy in simple things like snacks and running on her wheel - it's an inspiration to me.
