Mad mad heartache
This winter and this month have been incredibly harsh. I suppose the weather is payback for the last few mild winters we’ve had. And February… it has not been kind either. I’ve had car troubles and the loss of three of my beloved reptilian pets. My pair of crested geckos and my younger corn snake Bellamy. All of which showed no signs of illness or distress. My heart still aches for them and my head is filled with whys.
I still have good ol’ Fluffy. But he is getting up there in age, this summer will make 10 years since I’ve rescued him. And recently I have rescued another corn snake. I got it from a friend of a friend. It was the pet of an uneducated kid/parent and had been recently taken to striking and biting at the kid. It's underfed and really tiny. I just hope I am doing the right thing and that it is not too soon.
My head is still reeling, and my heart is still aching and it still brings me to tears when I think about my beloved pets. I know the void never gets filled and the pain only dulls, but it will still always be there. Nothing can replace them, or bring them back.
