Well...so I thought Remy was doing ok...up until tonight. She was playing with my hand and I went to do the tummy rub on her. That was when I saw it. She has a compound fracture and her leg is wide open with a little tiny bone sticking out. She never bled and the wound isn't gross or anything. There is nothing that can be done for her. For the 2nd time in 2 weeks I will be heading for the vet to have another rat put down. I lost it when talking to my mom. I really don't think this was caused by the cage, I really think it does have something to do with the breeder she came from. My mom feels that based on all of the problems I have had with rats from Petco, they are inbreeding and their animals are paying the price with respatory problems and weak bones. She thinks this had to have been a previous injury and only became aparent once she was able to be active.

I am just sick right now. How much more can one person deal with?

Oh, hon, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry MG. ((((hugs))))

I certainly hope you paid for it. Otherwise it would be stealing....

These are damn good brownies...

I hope the bacon candy bars are this good.

Disneyphile · 09-25-2007, 11:07 PM

Sorry, MG.

My Petco rats used to have a lot of health issues, especially respiratory. I even lost one within the first week - he was just a little baby, and so cute too.

With the last few rats, I would try to "rescue" one from a reptile shop. The ones I've gotten from there were usually very healthy.

And, apparently, I'm a moderator again elsewhere. Not sure how that happened. I signed on to check a news article, and yeah... hopefully, I'll be removed again soon, because I don't have time nor desire to deal with any of it.

I see a trip to Tulare in my future...

Poor Nickolas is blaming himself. We have had a running joke, that is not so funny right now. In the past I have told him that every rat he has picked out has had issues. This dates all the way back to Twitch and her stealing to Daisy being preggers, most recently Smurf being psycho. All I could do was reassure him that this was in no way his fault.

I am now trying to figure out when we can hit the road. He is at his dad's for the next 2 weekends and the weekend after that is our DLR trip.

If I can get him to do his homework in the car, we may go tomorrow after school.

The only problem with going to Tulare is that we will end up with 2 girls...they are just too darn cute to get only one.

Tonight I have two utterly unrelated thoughts.

First: I want the WV clerkship so much I can't even stand to think about it any more. I want to wish it into existence, but if I think about it too much I'll get my hopes up and then possibly face a big disappointment. And maybe there are others out there without other options who need it just as much - or more - than I do. So, I instead spend my energy hoping that they all get offers they like better, leaving the WV clerkship to me. And since I'm hoping those others get something they wanted better, that's a good deed, right? That's not being selfish, right? *sigh*

Second, I have been plagued this week with XTC earworms. Yesterday, I kept counting every step as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...senses working overtime...and then I'd start counting again. Today I kept making plans for Nigel. Why is this? Why do they haunt me so? As a counter-measure, I downloaded a bluegrass version of Round and Round, which is decidedly not an XTC song. Although if I start humming that people will think I'm listening to RATT and not the Meat Purveyors.

I need sleep.

Mousey Girl · 09-26-2007, 01:10 AM

I can't sleep.

I keep thinking about stuff, in general, but my mind is focusing on the situation at hand.

My track record with PetCo is 1 1/2 out of 5 (or 6). Sweetness&Light came from PetCo, but not from their breeders. The 1/2 was Sniff, who had some sort of strange brain thing that caused her to have seizures and a short life.

My Tulare pet store is 6 (+7 if you count Daisy's babies that I gave away) out of 6 (or 13). Daisy and Peach lived out their full life span, as did (and are) Daisy's daughters. Out of Daisy's 10 babies, I know of 2 that are still alive. At least 4 lived past 2.

Oh, and as I was closing up for the night I saw what I thought was a piece of plastic stuck under the leaf thingy under the front door. Nope, not plastic or a leaf. It was a dead toad. Great, just great.
