Dear friends, Lori (me) has been without her five Rat's Brats for nearly two months now due to the cruelty of Willow Wood Apartment's management agency. This morning (Monday) I am just breaking down again; I'm missing them all so much. When I was reading the third Harry Potter book and found the parts about the ferrets, I had my babies to cuddle and be thankful they were alive; now, seeing the FML posts about the movie, I don't think I could bare to watch the movie - I haven't got my babies to cuddle. I found out for the first time what a dead animal felt like the day after ny birthday last year, June 20th; Smokey, a six-year-old female passed away from a blockage. The Harry Potter book references made me want to hurt somebody for writing such references about dead ferrets, when there are so many people that have carried their little furry kids from their cages never to dook on Earth again. So, now that I am crying (pardon my typing please), Sandee or Sara, please check on my Smokey; she should be tunneling through pine straw and bossing everybody else around. She finally gave kisses to my husband after two months of living here; she wasn't treated well by a man before we got her. I've got to go now; I can't stop crying.
