Everyone thanks for the understanding.
It is weird. Friday I burried Beer in a nice spot in a forest.
And now are the days of getting used to not having to feel an animal.
And cleaning up everything. My cage is huge and I created 2 extra
levels in there of wood, Lots of wood structures. it was like a giant
castle. Beer didn't get upstairs anymore. He could not for some
reason. one of them him being too fat. Or his spine could not I don't
know.
But everyday i put something in the shed. And the bowl is washed and
the waterbottle. And the thing you pyt hay in. The cage is still there
with bedding and hay in it. I look in it and see his droppings. That
is all thatr emains. I feel weird cleaning that out and putting the
cage in the shed. It feels really final.
Everyone who stopped having animals for a while or lost a human knows
about this. Cleaning up the stuff. Clothes of a human or bedding, no
difference.
