In Rememberance...

I'm sorry this post is a few days later than normal as this post was a difficult one for me to write. Last week was a very sad one for our little family of critters when we laid to rest our little Medusa. I made the decision to let one of our snakes soak in a bath unsupervised while I cleaned her tank out like I had done a million times before with each of our snakes, and unfortunately while I was away she drowned. Bob says is was a simple accident and it's not my fault so I shouldn't blame myself, but I do. For the last week I have been so grief stricken and felt so guilty that I killed one of our most beloved pets, I constantly see her motionless body at the bottom of the bath when I close my eyes, and trying to bathe our snakes yesterday brought the tears right back to my eyes. While I know most of you reading this don't even remotely understand my love for snakes, and some of you don't even understand someone's attachment to an animal let alone a scaly legless one, I hope each of you will keep me in your thoughts as I try to forgive myself for the death of my first and favorite snake. I dedicate this weeks blog post to my lost little friend miss Medusa, may you always rest in peace. You will always carry a small peice of my heart with you and will be remembered fondly for the rest of our days.
