Dream #36- Rat Fragments
I had a dream about my late friend Dugan. I only remember fragments of it.
He was a great rabbit. He died suddenly of meninjitus. I loved him so much after he was gone, I lost interest in all of my animals. It wasn't fair to them, but it happened.
Last night I dreamed of all my old pets. The Rat Sisters:
Mo a'deeb
Jessica
This is a early photo, I had these crazy rabbits for several years.

Aura, Peanut, Ozzy, Acorn.
This is where they all lived:
As I said before, after Dugan's death I lost all interest in my animal friends. The two rat sisters died of natural causes, and the Rabbits were returned to the Humane Society because I knew they deserved better.
Last night I had a dream that I was in the basement of the house on Fremont. It was a concrete basement that flooded whenever there was any sort of rain. It was where the washer and dryer were as well as a bunch of shelves for storing jars of food.
Tonight however, it held my old friends. Dugan was running free like he loved to do, and when I sat down next to him, he nuzzled my hand looking for a pet. It was just like he was there, and I could feel the tears run down my face as I gave him a good petting.
Suddenly there was a woman there who picked up Jessica and said that she was too sick to live and proceeded to smash her face up against a cage and when that didn't kill her she started to squeeze her.
I took Jessica from her. She was now translucent and I could see her internal organs. She struggled in my grasp and what I took was the air being crushed from her body was actually her speaking. I was shocked at how eloquent she was. (I could remember the words when I woke up, but not at this time.)
I looked up at the brown rabbits in the cage across the room. I believe it was Peanut and Aura. Their cage had not been cleaned in a while and they were out of water. I knew I hadn't been down in the basement for YEARS and I wondered how they all had servived this long.
I felt guilty for leaving them like that, so I was determined to clean the whole basement and design it so that they had more space to live in.
I woke up at this point. It felt as if Dugan was still by me and if I am not paying attention I can still see him out of the corner of my eye as I type this.
I miss my rabbit and rat friends.
