been putting this off...


penelope, my christmas prezzie (baby anaconda), died the morning after xmas
she would not eat and we were just about to take her to the vet but everyone was closed for the holidays
sigh....

on the upside, there are two small mice we bought to feed her that she was not interested in...i suppose i should keep this lucky little ones as i was fond of them when we first bought them as "lunch" but tried to avoid getting attached to them...suppose there is no need to worry about that now.

have been trying not to think about it and didn't wanna depress everyone...trying to tell myself it's no big deal.

at least everyone else is okay, that's all i can ask *knocks on wood*

aww Tink, you are not having a good time of it are you? I'm not a snake fan but I can appreciate what she meant to you. So very sorry.

RIP Penelope x

Aww, what a shame, she was a lovely snake; that's a real downer....but the mice were lucky! I guess it just wasn't meant to be, but still sad. And you still have that charming Kuan Yin to cheer you up a bit...(((hugs)))

I'm so sorry about Penelope.

Mice do make good pets though...... are they the pink eyed white sort? They tend to be easier to tame than the black ones.

(my ad in the classified for the mice..)

i will take care of them if no one wants them but maybe there is someone out there who will be more excited about it or a child it would make happy...i would have to keep em separated from everyone in penelope's old room so they wouldn't be hassled...and it just makes me so sad to go in there right now....
