The Herbs and Spices were born on June 2, 2010. Their mama Jana was a
part of a rescue where lots of pregnant mamas and mamas with little
bitties were taken in to finally be cared for as ratties deserve to be.
We brought Jana and her 13 babies home 3 days later to give Mama a
forever home and to give the babies their best chance at getting their
own forever homes. They were still little pink eeping erasers with legs.
The little alien creatures couldn't have been more beautiful.
Number 13, a little boy, went to the Bridge before he found a name,
before he had colors, before he had fur. He wasn't loved any less.
As the remaining 12 grew, they went from little eeping erasers to
gaining their colors to gaining their velvety soft baby fur. Before we
knew it, they had eyes and ears and personalities.
And names. Ginger, Thyme, Myrtle, Sage, Heliotrope, Jasmine, Rosemary,
Saffron, Anise, Curry, Dill, and Pepper.
Some were so outgoing that they loved to use us as jungle gyms. Some
were more shy. Curry loved to sit on his daddy's head. Saffron and Sage
stole their mommy's heart. So did Dill and Pepper. The shy ones took a
little extra time to warm up, but loved to cuddle and sometimes fell
asleep on their people.
They were always, always loved.
When they were about 3 weeks old, we started to notice that something
was wrong. They weren't growing anymore, and some of their tummies were
sticking out in ways that just weren't healthy. All the fancy colors and
patterns that would make them so easy to find homes for came with a high
price. They all had megacolon.
Now we knew that their days were numbered far shorter than we
anticipated.
Still, they were loved dearly, and they were played with, and they got
to go pea fishing with their mama. That was the last night that four of
them got.
On July 2nd, Ginger, Thyme, Myrtle, and Sage were helped to the Bridge.
I loved them too much to let them suffer over the weekend.
They got a month to live. They are *still* loved.
Time was short for their siblings, too. They were lively and beautiful
and playful but some were starting to hurt, and it was just the right
thing to do to let them all go to the Bridge together.
On the 16th, I brought Heliotrope, Jasmine, Rosemary, Saffron, Anise,
Curry, Dill, and Pepper to the vet for the last time. They were gently
assisted to the Bridge by my wonderful vet.
They are still, and will always be loved.
I hope that they are sharing that love with all of the babies that went
to the Bridge a little too soon.
Play hard, angels.

Meowmie has too many waddermonsters in her eyes to go on here, but I
thinks dees kittens (rattie babies is kittens too) deserve a new
Jellicle lyfe too.
