Anyone who knows me whatsoever is aware that I have chronic nightmares. Serious, intense, vivid as Hell, nightmares... just about every time I sleep (day or night). Well, I feel that talking about them sometimes will *exercise* them so here goes ( Read more... )

...like seriously... uh huh... yep.

I *am* indeed alive...

I can't bear to say anything myself... My 8 year old shelter mutt, Reo, finally had to pass... The vet said it was the best thing we could do for her now.. This is what my brother had to say on his MySpace ( Read more... )

I didn't want to do this so soon, but I began to realize it was an emergency... Zedd wouldn't even move from her sleeping area for days and I was so scared. I went to the pet store because I figured it would be a good thing to save a 'feeder' rat from certain death, though I had planned to contact Sara and ask her if there was anyone I could adopt ( Read more... )

My beloved mink dumbo rat, Lwa, suffered a stroke and died early this morning.. Her companion, Zedd, is seriously depressed and I am terrified for *her* welfare. I don't want my other baby to die from grief. I feel guilty because I always said that I hoped when they go that Lwa would go first because I didn't think she'd be able to handle Zedd's ( Read more... )

It's been a while... My father got through his colon surgery well and has basically recovered. Everyone else is doing good except Zedd has another mammary tumour. She's also 2 now so I am a bit worried about her... Something is telling me she's not going to be with me for an awful lot longer. I hope I'm wrong. She's really the sweetest creature on ( Read more... )

Cory found Banlin and Goolie dead in their cage last night... We don't know how old they were as we got them when they were already adults. They were gentle creatures and they loved each other more than any other pair of rats I've ever known... They were loved so much and this will create a void in our animal family... These things always come in ( Read more... )

At around 7:15pm last night my best friend, Scott, and I were driving to a diner in Long Beach. I became overwhelmed with an intense, horrible feeling... I scrambled for my phone to find out the time and I just knew.. I wanted to wait to stop to call home. When we parked the car my voicemail message went off and my heart sank. We got out to sit on ( Read more... )

At 11:00am my only living grandparent and the only one I was close to stopped talking and went unconscious. He is 86 years old as of October 1st and his health had been declining for a while now. It's not clear exactly why he went under, but I know that it's because he was tired of living like he was.. He was the wittiest, most charming man with a ( Read more... )
