My female brown fancy rat, Peanut, is sick She developed an upper-respiratory infection over the night somehow. I found her this morning in her cage with her eyes barely open and she was acting very lethargic. I rushed her to the vet. Thankfully my other 3 rats didn’t get this, but it was still a hefty vet bill at $65. She looks terrible but hopefully the Baytril will start to work soon. I feel bad for her. I really hope it clears up soon. I’ve been nursing her throughout the day and she seems to want to lay up behind my neck for the most part, I guess because it’s warm there. She’s still so cold, though. I really hope she makes it through through this

Edit: Peanut has died tonight. Throughout tonight she slowly became worse and worse, and unfortunately she passed away. I only had her for a couple of weeks but I grew to love her not only as a pet, but as a little ratty friend. She was a little over a year old. I regret not having taken a lot of pictures of her. I have a few but they aren’t of the best quality thanks to my crappy blackberry camera. She’s the light brown rat on the left

After a (much needed) break from the interwebs I am finally back. I have been so busy these past couple of months with school and trying to find a job and whatnot that I have had hardly any time to get online, so that meant no updates to my site. Now that I’m out of school for the summer and not working I’m going to try to live life to the fullest, and with that comes wanting to keep my website up to date. I’m going to try and at least blog once a week at the least. I know that’s not a huge commitment but I don’t really know what’s going to happen over the next few months and i might end up becoming busy again so there aren’t any promises! I do want to get back into the sync of blogging often though. Oh yeah, and now that I’m going to be home a lot now (hopefully) I’m going to have a little section created on my site for something special I’ll reveal what it is as soon as I get done with it! Hint: It has something to do with things that I love doing Not only have I been slacking off on my website but on The Q*Bee as well. I haven’t been doing any of my duties lately. Most importantly I need to catch up on trading patches. I don’t want to end up being warned for not trading these past couple months I promise I’ll start trading more often

Now, here comes the big news. In my last post back in March I mentioned wanting to buy a kitty to help me get over Tango’s death. Well, I finally was able to convince my mom to let me have one! He’s a 3 month old long hair black tabby. He’s so adorable! Andy and I named him Maximus, after the main character in the movie Gladiator. He is so much fun, except when he won’t settle down when I’m busy. He always wants to be in my or Andy’s lap, or running around with Baxter, one of my mom’s cats. I still need to get him his kitten shots. I haven’t been able to afford his shots he was supposed to get over the past couple of months, but now I have enough money to get him the basics and get him fixed as well. He is going to be such a beautiful kitty when he grows up He also does that weird chirping thing that a lot of kitties do. it’s so adorable!if you’re interested in what that is exactly, search for cat chirping on YouTube. You’ll love it! Recently Andy and I have constantly been on eBay. I’ve started selling stuff on there on my name Ambrosity. Right now I have 5 things listed that are ending today, so hopefully I’m going to make a decent profit off of them :). Andy has been buying stuff like crazy. He’s purchased lots of Gameboy Advance games to play on his Gamecube, mainly Mario games. They’re a lot of fun too so I’m glad he bought them. I purchased 24 nail art pens from Hong Kong for only $18 with shipping. That is such a great deal considering nail art pens are $6+ at Wal-Mart and most other places that sell beauty supplies. I have so much more stuff to sell on eBay though, much of what I can’t wait to get rid of either. It would be cool if I could make a business off of selling my stuff, but i’ll eventually run out of things to sell, so I don’t think that will be happening very soon. Oh, how does the new layout look? I figured since it’s practically Summer now, I would put up a nice summery look for my site. I drew everything myself I haven’t had the chance to test it in multiple resolutions other than 1440 x 900 and I’m also a little iffy on the CSS, so opinions will be greatly appreciated!   Filed under Animals, Death
Last night my mom was going to let Tango, my almost 10 year old tabby my cat, inside but instead accidentally scared him off the porch and he ran off. We tried to get him back inside but he just wouldn’t come. If we had any idea this would be the reason he’s not here right now, I would have gone out and caught him and brought him back in to safety.

It was around 6am when my mom came in my room and told me Tango still hadn’t tried to come inside. Andy and I went outside trying to find him, but half way across the street my mom yelled at me to come back. We got back to her and she started crying while saying “Tango is dead.” I couldn’t figure out how she knew, until she pointed me to look under the corner of our house. There he was, laying in his side. We tried saying his name but he wouldn’t move a muscle. We knew he was dead. My mom got under and brought his body out which was already deathly cold. There were black marks on him everywhere so we concluded that he must have been hit by a car and was able to walk back to his home before his life ended. I can’t help but blame myself for it. I wish I had tried letting him in the house sooner than when we found him. I have a feeling he had only been hit by a car a couple of hours beforehand. This might sound immoral to some people, but my mom and I want to have his fur taken off and made into a small kitty blanket so we’ll always have something to remember him by. I don’t like the fact of him being put into the ground where all the bugs can get at him..that’s just a waste. So hopefully we can find somewhere today that can do that for us. It’s going to be expensive, but I think it will be worth it. We raised him from a little 2 week old kitten. We fed him and his 3 brothers and sister off a bottle until they were old enough to eat on their own. He used to always sleep on the top of my pillow or down by my feet on my bed with me. He’d come in my room and wait for me to get off the computer to lay with him and I would always make him wait so long that he would eventually just leave. I wish I hadn’t taken these moments for granted. I know a lot of people say that animals don’t have a soul, but I do believe that they do, and their souls live on forever. I will always remember you T.T.
