Hey,
Hi guys, this is to all of you. :)If this sounds corny, go ahead and delete
it. Anyhoo, I hope this isn't too "off-subject" to you guys. :)
Okay ,everybody joins this list for some reason or another. I'm going to
tell you mine. Just last year my dog, who I was very very close to died when
he was hit by a car. It was really hard dealing with that...I guess it's
always hard to deal with the loss of something you love. WEll, I missed him
alot. To make matters worse, my other dog, who I've had since I was...8, I
think, died of cancer shortly after. Might I add that my cat had been put
down because of feline lukeamia a little bit before this all? :(
My cousin had a gerbil, a golden agouti, who I thought was very cute. I
looked up gerbils on the internet and found the Dani Clan. From there I got
interested in breeding gerbils and taking care of gerbils and everything. I
got two golden agoutis from the pet store thinking they were both boys
because that's what the petstore employie had told me. Well, one of them was
a girl and I soon had a litter of pups. Lucky for me I practicly had the
breeding pages from the dani Clan memorized and took much joy in raising the
pups. Though too soon afterward I had another litter(of seven!. Okay, now
I'm overloaded with gerbils, four girls in a cage and six boys in a huge
cage. Anyway, I don't know if you've figured it out but, all in all, I was
trying to replace the hurt from losing my dogs with the love of gerbils. But
I've figured another thing out; No matter how much love you give a gerbil,
they can't love you back. sure many gerbils appreciate their owner's care
for them....but they just can't love you like a dog. They don't sleep next
to your bed, or wait for you to come home from school at the fence.
Actually, gerbils don't care, or mine anyways, who you are at all. As long
as they have food, water, and a toilet paper roll to chew, they're
satisfied.
Please don't yell at me, I'm not saying gerbils are horrible. I had a whole
lot of fun with them and the list. yet, now they're more of a problem than
fun. Sure I like them because they're cute and all, but I don't love them.
Now I'm SEARCHING for homes for the little guys. They're free and need good
homes. Maybe I need a good shake and a "Get over it!", maybe not. I'm just
saying that's why I'm on the list and have gerbils: because I thought I
needed to, or wanted to more likely.
Thank-you for reading this if you have gotten this far. Again, I'm not
trying to offend anyone, this is just me. If you want a gerbil, by all means
try to get one. I live in Renton, Washington and if you know anyone who
wants one in this area please tell me! :)Seriously, I've tryed pet-stores
too. Perhaps this is irresponsible, hey, I'm just 13. In closing, I'm trying
to say, I got into this the wrong way and want out. I know I haven't sent
much to the list, and I'd like to thank all of those who did. Thanks for all
the advice and I appreciate it. If it weren't for you I wouldn't know a boy
from a girl and have pups sitting in pine bedding and be stumped over why my
two females hate eachother. :)
I'm signing off the list, bye bye guys! Hey, it was fun. But now, I'm
getting a dog. :) Something that can love me back, something that I needed
in the first place. bye!
PS. Perhaps there's a LML? Labrador Mailing List? hee hee :)
PPS. thanks again.
