yeah i was really broken up about it... i'm not afraid to admit i cried either... actually for awhile... that puppy and me like just instantly connected... when i saw her for the first time, i KNEW i was going to keep that puppy and it was going to be a life long friend... a week later... i lost her... i didn't know what else to do.. you can't have a puppy like that dippped in flea killer.... so i picked all the fleas off, gave her baths to drown the fleas, combed her with a lice comb... but they just kept coming back and back.. (some mangy mutt is what got my dog pregnent, and he left fleas, in just a few weeks the problem grew outrageously, and we did yard treatments treatments on willow... we were doing everything we possibly could they just wouldn't go away)

so here i was, spending two hours picking the fleas off this puppy (i did this many many times in the week long span, it wasn't just once) and she was cold, not like dead cold, but i could tell she was losing the battle... so after i got most of 'em off her again, i took her to go feed, even basicly 'forcing' (i had to put her mouth around the nipple and like tickle her throat to get her to) i come back an hour or two later... and i see her laying there, i pick her up, and well... this time she was alot colder... and limp.....

i ended up crying alot... i still feel sad when i think about her... it was love at first sight, literally.... you know, like when you go to look at a litter of puppies to get one, and you just INSTANTLY fall in love with one particular one, and you know right at that second, they're the one for you...

i'm happy as hell i managed to save the other two, and put them into good homes.... but i'll never forget the little girl...
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . dying rat. please read One of my rats is dying, my favorite one, its put me into tears. I don't know whats wrong with him, but he has the tale-tale signs of death breathing over him. i've already smoked him up, gave him some lemon water (his fave), and gave him a little chocolate to snack on. Can you guys think of anything else that would make him comfortable before he passes? I know it sounds silly, but i really would like some help.:( Rating: 5
