Rest In Peace Daisy
Another week put away. More sad stories to add to the book of my life.
You know I fostered that little rattie from the shelter, Rosie not long ago after extensive surgery and 6 inches of sutures. Well she has a sister that she was returned to, Daisy, the foster dad brought her in on thursday night, concerned. After looking at her it was determined she may have had a stroke. We kept her overnight at the shelter and her condition did not change- however she was eating and doing her business in the morning so we thought we'd give her some time. I left a message for the foster dad that he could come in to pick her up. He never came in, and I decided I wasn't going to leave her at the shelter overnight again. I took her home, held her a lot, syringe fed her when she decided not to eat, and even made Galaxie stay in her crate last night so Daisy could stay with me on my bed. I'd planned to stay up as long as possible, but eventually fell asleep. I woke up at 5 this morning, and she had passed.
I was relieved in a way that we didn't have to make the choice to euthanize her at the shelter. That she died, with me, in a home, and not in a cage. She was only a year and a half old.
As you can imagine, I didn't feel super hot today. I've been low energy a lot lately- and I'm tired today. I went after work, got a pizza, ate half of it and went to sleep for a few hours. So much for the gym this week. I went three days. Better than nothing I guess.
So two days to recover. Not a lot of money available, it will be spent on food for the week, and bedding for my rodent kids. I guess there will be a lot of reading and relaxing then. Drive Wicked a short ways. Straighten my living space a little. I'm on book four of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
I could have gone out last night, but not only did I have Daisy with me- I wouldn't have gone anyway- I'm in full blown hermit mode.
I have next saturday off to go to a pet rat oriented event. Three days will be nice.
.....see? already waiting for the week to end.
What a shame.
