All things
they say~
must drip to an end
Tears shed
in vain~
become my holy sin

Two years
in passing~
I loved with my life
Two weeks
in between~
Death and sacrifice

Two days
of hopelessness~
within darkened disease
Two hours
tiny lungs~
cease to breathe...

*This is a sad song for my babies. I had my rat of two years die about two weeks ago of upper respiratory problems (cried like a baby) and now my female has gotten the same disease...

as I sit with her staring...wishin oh wishing I could do something to fix this...

but I cannot...so I sit still...waiting, waiting, for her breath to cease as well...

still crying like a baby...*

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

I knew you were soft hearted
I'm sorry for the loss. My ex took my best friend with her, my black lab named Sakura.
I know it sounds like a bad country song, don't laugh.

A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground

My hamster died of a respiratory disease... I was about 12 then, and she was actually in my hands as she died. I bawled like only a 12-year-old can. Her name was Merit, and she was about 1 1/2 years old.

Now my ferret (pet of the past five years) has cysts on her endocrine gland and is slowly wasting away.... Owy. But she doesn't know she's sick, so I guess that's the one relief.

Rats are depressing, depressing critters. They die so soon!

To note:

My tawny rat, Mushroom, died only a few years after giving birth to a litter. She was the sweetest, most gentle-tongued girl creature. I really loved her. She died of a twisted stomach.

One of her offspring, Skunky, died because he had a rare malformation where his teeth were growing through his skull.

And poor, poor Hood. Another offspring. My mom's baby. She died of a tumor the size of a baseball. My mom said when she took her to the vet to have her put down, the vet put her on a smiley face "Have a nice day" towel.

I hate vets.

Another reason why I hate vets:

When they were putting Patches down, our 14-year old springer-spaniel-beagle dog whom had been part of my life since I was a newborn, the vet missed her vein the first time.

She was whining and looking really scared.

Then he finally got it in, and said "All aboard to the last train to tomorrow."

HE SAID ALL ABOARD TO THE LAST TRAIN TO TOMORROW!

I wish him great suffering. Or somethin'.

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.
