Cupid died today… This morning he was fine, and by this afternoon I knew he was going to die. His decline was rapid, and I have no idea what caused it.<\/p>\n
He had everything he needed, and Stelo is still fine *knocks wood*. Cupid was very young, too young to be sold and in truth I knew the risks when I bought him. I just hoped that with enough love and care he’d grow to be strong and live a long healthy life.<\/p>\n
That just wasn’t in the cards for him though. Unfortunately, when dealing with hatchlings that young there is always a risk that some won’t make it. Nature has it’s own way of deciding what babies live and die. It just really sucks that it had to be mine that died.<\/p>\n
Now Stelo is on his own and all I can do is give him tons of love and do what I can to make sure he is ok. He seems much stronger than Cupid ever did though… so hopefully that will continue.<\/p>\n
Xander is outside burying him now. This sucks pretty badly for him as well, he was so happy to be able to give me something I loved so much for Valentine’s day.<\/p>\n
Bleeeeeeeeh.<\/p>\n
We were so busy watching over Cupid and hoping for signs of improvement that we forgot all about dinner. I think I’m going to go to McDonalds and get a mega sized quarter pounder meal WITH fries AND coke. The hell with my diet, I just need some seriously sinful comfort food. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
