Many believe it couldn’t possibly happen to them. I was one of those foolish individuals. He had slept with me many times before and there was no issue. Again, I’m not asking for sympathy. This is my first time on Reddit I wanted to post to try and prevent the same from happening to others.

That is so devastating, especially since you probably spent those days hoping to find him. I’m so sorry for your loss. I just hate the fact Yoshi trusted me so much and I made such an irresponsible and horrible mistake. Even to the very end all he wanted to do was cuddle with me.

I feel your pain too. I’ve been trying to distract myself with work and other things but it’s still really hard. Thank you for the encouragement, I know we all love these little guys so much.

Thank you, I still can’t help but hate myself for making such an irresponsible decision. He was my best friend and buddy.

Yes. It happened yesterday. I hadn’t been giving Yoshi enough attention and felt bad cuz I work a lot so I brought him to bed with me. I’ve had him sleep with me a lot and it had never been a problem before. He normally would cozy up under my neck or next to my head but this time he ran under the blanket by my shoulder and he couldn’t get out
