My babies gone
7 months ago
A few days ago, my landlord had a pest inspector come for a unit inspection. To see where pest might be coming in and out from in each unit and I just so happen to have had pet rats that I loved so much. When I came back the following day after work, this was two or three days ago. I found my rats dead because the pest control guy left poison out right in front of their enclosure or cage, and one of them grab a hold of it and it seems like they ate from it and I found them lifeless ….
The four of them were my pride and joy. They were always something I could do and play with and take care of and just stay overall focus, ignoring the rest of the problems and my depression. They always love to snuggle and always squeak every time I pick them up, looking like they were waiting for me to lift them …..
Today I’m throwing away their home . It stings like a motherfucker . Yeah I can sue the bastard , but nothing will bring them back… they were the sweetest little fluff balls I’ve had the privilege to house and to love…

Yeah, and honestly, I had some moments where I had peace even if it was just for a brief couple of minutes and when they knew something was up, they were squeak until I picked them up and then I’ll stop squeaking and then they’ll give me their little licks they were just the sweetest and my first pet rats too. My ARMY recruiter and longtime friend was the one that gave them to me originally it was his. *sighs*….

I still have my cat, but she lives with my mom tho . At least I’ll be able to see her more often though I’m moving back to my mom since I won’t be able to afford rent with this lease renewal. Rent is absolutely bonkers……

I can definitely understand that frustration. I was a hairstylist for a few years ago. I mean, I’m technically still a hairstylist. I just haven’t practiced my craft in a while but when I was actively doing hair, I sold my business online doing wedding up styles and all that fun stuff and never got a damn client or as often as I would have liked I had my own chair and I will go and travel to people to do their hair, but I was not making enough and because I don’t have my license to do hair, though, I am a graduate of cosmetology I can’t just go and advertise my stuff without being licensed to do it… life tend to life tooo damn hard sometimes …. I swear swear heh .
