My horror to had to pet loss-(don't read if you're happy)

[Saitaina]

Yesterday I received a phone call at two am of my other screaming.  When I could finally get what was going on I found out that my baby, Scabbers had died.

Scabbers (my mum, the non HP fan named him) was my seven week kitten that I had gotten last weekend.  He was the sweetest most wonderful animal I had known...except that he didn't get along with my other animals.  And even though I had only known him a short time...he was my baby, my little prince.

The hardest part of his death, wasn't that he was so young, it was that Clifford, one of my mum's dogs, mauled him.  And I could have saved him if I didn't fear my realtor so much.  They had been fighting earlier in the day while I was on the phone with mum and I had offered to take him for the night but she said no, that I could get kicked out of my place (they don't allow pets).  If I had only gone down there and taken him anyway while she was at work...I may not have been able to save his life forever, but I could have at least had one more moment with  him.

We buried him today and even now, now that he's gone and in the ground...I still can't help but think if I had only taken the time to go down there, to be with him...I could have had that one last moment.

I now must go hug my fish tank.
