Pets

Today was a sad day.  I lost a pet.  His name was Muffin and he was a rabbit.  He was old and only sick for a few days, so I was really surprised that today was the day.  It's days like today when I question why I have pets if they just are going to die. 

Muffin had a good life.  He had lots of bunny friends, plenty of food, and a fun personality.  He will be missed.  I only have three pets now and I am terrified that they will become sick too.  Sunflower, who is nearly eight, has been having some problems lately and I am very concerned about her.  She was down to six pounds, at her largest she was closer to nine.  Sunny is my buddy and I don't know what I will do if she doesn't recover.  I have taken her to the vet multiple times but I just don't think a vet can help her.  And why are they so expensive?  It was nearly $200 for them to press on her tummy and give her antibiotics.  And I am supposed to take her back there next week!  No thanks!  If I thought the trip to the vet would make her better, of course I would take her, but if not, I don't see the point. 

So, tomorrow, I will be burying a beloved pet.  It really sucks.  I have been sad all afternoon.  I had ice cream cake for dinner to make me feel better.  It helped.
