Something strange and sad

[Lady Motevia]

Hi, everyone. I wanted to let you all know something strange that happened yesterday. I was on the phone with my best friend (we've known each other since 5th grade) and she asked me "hey, didn't your degu pass away?" I told her no and that our degu (Reepicheep) was still alive. She was like "oh... I thought I saw something on Facebook about him. Guess it was someone else". I haven't gotten a hold of her to tell her yet this morning, but last night we found our degu dead in his cage. Sargon and I are really sad and we miss him greatly, but I just cannot get over what my friend said just last night. It just shocked the hell outta me!

My Prayer For Reepicheep

Great Mother, She of the thousand names,

Please watch over our Reepicheep.Take him safely in your arms as he returns to your earth. Watch over him so that he may run freely in the Summerlands happily with the other degus that have previously passed on. When he is ready, show him the way back to your cauldron so that he may be reborn again in your love. In perfect love and perfect trust, so mote it be.

I am sorry to hear that your degu passed away.

That is strange that your friend should have said that.

I had never heard of a degu till you posted this. I googled for images, they are cute!

Thanks. He was very adorable. Unlike other degus, though, he wasn't very social. After we moved, he stopped taking care of himself and made messed in his water and food constantly. It's really sad, but I think he had friends with the mice living in my mother-in-law's house that he just missed after we moved here.

I'm sorry for your lost. Lossing a pet can be just like lossing a family member.
