I just got a call. Flower is DEAD. I cannot believe it. I cancelled Comcast to save money because I support my mom and now my nephew for the next 3 months. I cannot believe it. She was such a strong leader. I hope that the people taping all this put her out of her misery. Another beloved Meerkat...the star of the show really... bitten and killed by a poisonous snake....to save her babies. At least they didn't pull that low down stunt and tell us to stay tuned to the outcome like they did with Shakespear. And then they never told you anything. I honestly lost a great deal of interest in the show after they did that. What a brave little thing she was. And how well she held the group together through thick and thin. She had experience and bravery and common sense and superb leadership abilities, and such health to keep reproducing all those babies. What a loss to her group and their chances for survival. I mourn her loss. Lisette [Posted in FML 5745]
