Moment of Silence
 

This morning the friendliest of all my female rats gave birth to a litter of 9, I was awakened by their ever so soft squeeling, immediately I knew that her new babies had entered into this world.
They were all healthy, except for one - one died.
I'm just thinking how much that sucks...a life lost when it had barely begun. I can only think how some parents feel when this happens to them.
It was so sad to see the mother touching and licking her dead child to see what was wrong with it, all I can do is hope that she didn't fully understand her loss, but I think she did.
So folks, on the happier side of things, the remaining 8 do look healthy...

I offer you all the oppertunity to observe a short moment of silence, say a prayer, or just do whatever you do to dedicate a moment in your life to those that have been extinguished before their time, humans, rats, and otherwise.

awwww :)

Oh, Cheeba. That little baby will be born again. He just wasn't prepared for this life. Mommy is going to be sad, but she'll take comfort in her other pups. Sending loving energy to you and your momma rat.

I lost a baby three years ago, so I know how she feels. She'll make it through. Life goes on, and it really does. The cycle continues and that baby will get another chance, maybe in another of her litters.

Much love to you, my dear friend.

That is so sad Cheeb! :( .....hope you feel better. Animal things like that just totally get to me. :(

Sorry. :(

Dinner?

Thankyou all...sorry to dump it on ya...just felt, yknow - still trying to understand it, but I guess there's no point.

PEACE

And the cycle starts anew...

I am very sorry to hear that.:(

Oh shit! How the fuck could i miss that?!?!

Haunted, I'm truly sorry....I've heard that the loss of a child is the worst possible thing to ever go through....i, and everyone else here probably, can only imagine what you've suffered....you're in my thoughts.... :(
