*sigh*

The apartment is oddly empty. The rats are gone. The piggies are gone.* The gerbils are gone. The ferrets are still here, but not for much longer. We have found someone who will foster them for us for the remainder of our lease. And even with the birds, the apartment seems dishearteningly quiet. There is no sound of clicking water bottles or the scurrying on a wheel that have become part of the background noises in our lives here. It's kindof lonely. And really sucky.

*Tammy is fostering the rats and piggies. We're still looking for a perma-home for them.
