TXMomof4 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 it definately pours. A few weeks ago my oldest went to stay with grandma for a few days. While she was there one of their newborn kittens died. It's the first time dd had experienced the death of a pet. She was heartbroken to say the least. That same day they found a tiny little gecko and grandma let her put it in the jar to keep. They bought gecko food and she brought it home. She's done a great job of keeping it's cage clean and remembering to feed and water it. Today we took the plunge to get a real terrarium for it with all the cool accessories. When we got home, the *#&@^*@ little thing had died. So, after our horrible morning saying goodbye to dh, we had a horrible stinking afternoon. Argh! I want to go get a kitten because at least I know how to take care of them, but I think DH might disown me if he came home to a cat. Another dog would put my old lovey dog into an early grave I'm afraid because he's so jealous. Once again, here I am unable to make the situation better. I think I'm going to pour a big fat glass of wine and go to bed. Tomorrow has to be a better day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom to Aly Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 So sorry! Give it some time before you get another pet. And, hey, dh should be so happy to be home, a cat would be nothing! If you get one, let him know soon, he'll have a year to cool off ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
