A Little Bit Of Sadness
19 Feb 2010 Leave a Comment
Last night Josh discovered his little pet anole, Ryan, was dead. I guess you need to feed and water a creature on, you know, a regular basis. The problem was that we would keep Josh’s bedroom door shut and the old cliché “out of sight, out of mind” became a reality for poor little Ryan. Josh was in tears the rest of the evening. I think he felt responsible for Ryan’s death and he wanted to give Ryan a proper burial. After explaining that we live in the frozen tundra and a proper burial was not a possibility, we had a short and sweet ceremony around the trash can where Ryan will wait to be transported to his final resting place. I am not sure if we will be getting another pet anole anytime soon since we failed miserably taking care of Ryan. I don’t think our hearts can take it. We will mourn and move on and remember our temperamental shy creature from time to time.
