Yeah, so I had Edy out with me in the living room, watching Scary Movie 3 (my favorite of the series), and we were doing flappies as usual... and then she suddenly... I dunno how to describe it; she kinda "folded" or something, like she was injured... and then she lost conciousness and went limp... Mom tried to feel her pulse and thought she could feel a faint pulse... I tried CPR (which I don't know perfectly; just kinda had an idea of it, but there was no time to look it up), and feeding her some applejuice from a syringe while Mom was on the phone with the nearest vet (I don't really like that clinic, but it's real close to our house and they do emergencies)... I put Edy in her carrier with some towels to keep her warm and comfy, and we rushed to the vet, me talking to her and pleading with her to stay with me, hoping it would be like that Futurama episode "The Sting" where they thought Leela would never wake up, but Fry kept talking to her, and then she did... but Edy...
Normally when I'm sad, I hold and pet her and she helps me feel better... but there's no one to do that now... Sunny and Snowy aren't tame, and Bullet I haven't yet had long enough to build the kind of bond that I had with Edy... and part of me thinks I should rehome them anyway because knowing my luck, they won't be around long if they stay with me, no matter how much I love them... I know this sounds odd, but it's because I love them so much that I'm afraid to get too close to them...
I didn't cry myself to sleep last night... but only because I didn't even get any sleep for fear of waking up to an empty cage...
I LOVE YOU, EDY!
