I'm sad..but it's life..
Elizabeth (my pet female rat, for those who don't know that little bundle of joy), if going to have to be put to sleep either tomorow or Saturday..
She's had a tumor but she was fine and jumping around, but yesterday, I noticed that she had lost ALOT of weight, that she had trouble breathing and that because of her tumor, she had bitten her private parts, which were now bloody..
I'm sniffling today..I'm pretty sad..because I love her alot and I wish she could of been with us for christmas. She's had a happy life, I adopted her and her sister from the SPCA and I gave them all the treats,love and cuddles they ever wanted. I'll miss my little Elizabeth. She fell ill when Calypso was put to sleep. So I'm sure she'll be happy to see her sister again on the Rainbow Bridge.
My veterinarian..they have awesome,loving staff..I couldn't get cremation..because if I want the ashes it's 136$ but with the cheaper cremation option, I can't keep the ashes and I've always buried my pet rats,but the soil of our "graveyard" is frozen... the awesomely nice lady, Bonnie,said that she'd keep Elizabeth's body for me until spring,where I could bury her..
I'll miss my little bundle of hyperness..she was always so bouncy and with her sister, it was double the bounce.. Please have a nice thought of my pet rat...it might sound stupid to some..but that would make me feel better.
to some of my friends, she's only a rat, une vermine. But to me, she's my friend..she made me laugh and giggle and made JF laugh when she's get under the blankets n lick our toes n hop around. It was funny seeing her climb into the yogurt treat back like Homer does
Mom this morning was sad too, and said that we shouldn't have rats anymore, that it hurts so much when they pass away. But I told her that, Yes it hurts, it's the same for all animals when they pass away, but rats have a short life and if I know that I can make a difference in their little lives by giving them all the love and care they need, then It'll make me feel happy and feel like I am doing something good.
Jean-Francois held me last night when I was sad,He's a sweet heart..he also felt sad for Elizabeth, but he doesn't really show his emotions, but he told me he'd think about her when mom and I tomorow are gonna go to the veterinarian.
On a happier note,Yesterday we saw a house shaped like a cube that was for sale. I jokingly said that, we should get it and paint it like a companion cube from Portal, so that we could say " Oh, I live in the Companion Cube!". Jean-Francois smiled and said that it wouldn't be a bad idea, to have a house together then we were talking seriously. He said that I'd need a job, so he'll see if where he works they need ppl and ask his friend who works at the SAQ (he's an assisant gerant) to see if he can get me in. With a job, we could get a loan,get the house and get our friend Marie, who desperatly wants out of her parents to move in n be a tenant. I said it was a great idea, and Marie likes it too n that he'll look at how much the house is ,but that it would be in a year or so.
I love him alot...it's funny how we both feel that we complete each other. It happened once that we had a mini-fight. But that was thanks to my stupid PMS, but instead of fighting like idiots, he sat down, asked me what was wrong and we spoke about it calmly.
My Aesthetics DEP is full this year, so I'll take it next year. It'll give me time to have a job and place the money aside.
