I'm so sorry.  :'(

I understand about pets....I've had my tarantula for about 11 years and I know she isn't going to be around too much longer.  :'(

Such sad news when a pet goes awry.  Hope all is well with the boys without Fluffy.

Jenna and I buried her this afternoon. We felt it was the right thing to do for a tortoise, return her to the earth. We put flowers and her favorite strawberry leaves in with her. Jenna is so brave. I could not have gotten through this without her.
