So, you may know that I had pet mice, 2 of them. I got them becacuse that's all I could keep at the time. They moved halfway across the country with me. I really loved and enjoyed them. I talked to them nearly every day and took them out of the cage about every other day. Since I moved up into the mountains they have been drinking much more water, instead of changing thier water after 5 days, it needed to be done in 3. I've been really busy with work lately, we just got a new kitten and I've been having some issues with my fiance. This morning at 5am I woke up realizing that I haven't refilled thier water since the 3 days ago I noticed that they would need new water the next day. I went to go check on them... no water... both dead . I woke up my fiance and just started to cry I feel HORRIBLE!!! He told me not to beat myself up and that I'm the most caring person he's ever known and it was a mistake. I LOVE animals and I don't know if I can ever forgive myself. It was a mistake, but it ended 2 lives. I half want to get new ones and half don't... *sigh* Marmalade & Boysenberry...
