EEEEWWWWW!

It has been a pretty busy, crazy, strange, sad, and gross week. To start off, Mica, one of my ten little mousie friends passed away on Monday. I knew she was going to pass because she had been very weak and rough looking for about a week. Then on Tuesday, her arch rival, Onyx, passed away. This was very unexpected because she hadn't looked ill until Monday. Then on Wednesday I heard a scream from the ratties in the bedroom. I didn't go in and check right away, because occasionally one of the ratties will get a bit rough and the other will let out a scream. Besides, Sophie was in her cage - the only ones out were Cashew, Cora, Pip and Tipper. When I went in to get everybody ready for bed about an hour later, I couldn't find Sophie in the cage and she wouldn't come when called. Then I saw blood - EVERYWHERE! I opened Sophie's cage and found her hiding under some bedding and pulled her out... She was favoring her front, right paw and when I looked at it, it was completely bloody. I took her into the bathroom, cleaned her up and found that half of one toe was missing! Apparently, one of the girls decided that they were going the get Sophie whether she was in the cage or not and bit half her toe off! I was soooo mad! Then on Thursday I lost Punkin' - another one of my mousies! Of course my apartment is completely torn apart (because I am totally rearranging everything) and I was going to be helping my friend sell her handcrafted jewelry at the Body, Mind, Spirit Festival on Friday and Saturday. So, needless to say, I am EXHAUSTED!! So unfortuantely, video will have to wait about a week, but it is coming - SOON...
