It's hard to believe that by the end of the month we will have lost all four of them in the same year.
Like I said, Emilie is old and can't get around well anymore. She stopped eating hard foods a few weeks ago and has been strictly on soft baby foods. She's missing quite a bit of hair anymore and has nose bleeds on occasion, which I was told was normal for a rat in her situation. Seeing that kind of stuff just makes it harder on us, but I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is for her to endure. I wish that by some miracle she would just have a complete turn around and be her old self again.
I held her for the longest time in a fleece bonding pouch last night, I only put her up when I had to take a shower. I tried holding her again and rubbing her, but that really seem to aggravate her so I set her back in her cage inside the pouch. Emilie has never been a super social rat, she's never been one to like to be held all the time, so I imagine during times like that she really does want to be alone.
Now I'm going to change the subject before I start crying again, which I really don't want to do anymore.
LaVaughn and I kept the ducklings inside for so long last night. We brought them in around 7 PM and didn't put them back out in their cage until after 10. We played Injustice the entire time, which is why I think the time went by so quickly. We fed them three separate batches of mealworms and they even slept for around 30 minutes. I think it's safe to say they had a fun night.
So yeah, there's that. I'm honestly not even in the mood anymore. Until next time...
Love & Peace
