Mood

Depressed

So I never make journals...but I felt I should because tonight one of my rats, Eira died.

I noticed something was not right around about 9 o clock. She was hardly walking around and was slumped over many things...like her water bottle and such. And I went to take my friend home and when I came back she was lying on her side and looked dead, but when I came closer to the cage she twitched a bit. So I figured I should take out the other rat so she wouldn't bother her. I wanted her to be at peace when she finally went. I kept checking on her and the last time I checked, I could see that she was breathing, but it was very shallow and spaced apart. And rats breathe pretty fast...so I knew.

And about 20 minutes ago I came and she was no longer moving at all. This has been one of the worst 5 hours of my life. I do not like death at all...and it just made it worse that I had to wait through it. But I'm glad that it's finally over and she's at peace.

But now I'm really sad because my other rat has nobody. And I am NOT buying any more animals. I can not deal with it anymore.
I'll just have to play with Nig Nog a lot from now on so she doesn't get lonely.

Well, I'd put a pretty picture that I have of her in my gallery, but I never know how to put pictures in journals.

So, I'll just try to go to bed. Work tomorrow is going to suck big time.




RIP my little girl, Miss Eira. I love you.
