Exactly two weeks ago (14.09.2013) Runa left us...
She had been struggling with what we thought was
E. cuniculi since monday and during the night to Sunday she was gone...
We really miss our little girl and sister that was everywhere at once.
She woke us up every morning at 6:00 even though it was weekends, and demanded breakfast for her and her siblings. And often we would find her sleeping in the foot-end of the bed together with us at night. She would also demand pellets every evening at 20:00 and often before, just in case we would forget to look at the watch.
She always knew what she wanted, and hated to be waked up during her beauty sleep during the day, one time dad was especially noisy listening to an audiobook she ran out from her favorite spot under the sofa, tossed the phone on the floor and started to dig on her dad to demand silence.
Aristoteles also miss Runa a lot, and was also allowed to say goodbye sunday morning. The following day of Runa's passing he looked everywhere for her, even places he usually would not dare to go. Runa has been a big part in his life and made him much braver and more sure of himself. And since Runa became a part of our family he's almost never been sick.
She loved to play with her dad on the floor; jumping up on his back while he crawled on the floor, so she could enjoy a ride. She also enjoyed to tear up the sofa, carpets and cardboard boxes even tough it sometimes frustrated her mum and dad, and now we own a exclusive sofa designed by Runa.
The house feels extremely empty now that Runa has left us, and we will never forget our little girl that gave us so much happiness and wonderful memories. You will always live in our hearts until the day we meet again.
We love you our little girl and little sister, and will never forget you!
Thank you for everything!

Like før klokken 09:00 i dag sovnet Balto inn i hånden min hos dyrlegen..
Savner jeg kjempe mye lille venn...

I don't think Balto will survive this night...
He's in so much pain now...
He barley reacts and his cheeks seems swollen and painful...
If he survives until tomorrow morning I will take him to the vet and if they can't find out what's wrong I will let him go...
I love you...

My tummy hurted again on Thursday, so mum took me back to the vets office. I was really scared! [mums comment: And me too, the vet told me that if he wasn't better the next day they wanted to open him to see if something was blocking his gut].
When we came home mum gave me something and afterwards it didn't hurt that much, she also forced me into drinking water. I CAN drink myself you know! I also had to start to take paraffin again.
But now I'm feeling better, and mum have even given me some outside plants and a little branch I can chew on.
The really sad thing is that she have taken my cardboard boxes and laid a blanket over them in such a way that I can't play with them. Se says it's from my own good, but I really want to play with them...
I'm a a lion hear me roar! (relaxing under the desk)

Today HugeSpider found Faint (
Pandinus imperator) dead in her terrarium....
HugeSpider have watched her for me for a while, and she haven't eaten and the terrarium has been a little to dry lately. But she was a old lady so she probably died from age...
Faint was my first tropical arachnid and I bought her in Bergen the 15th of August 2005. And like every other arachnid you buy in a pet store in Norway she was probably captured in the wild (so don't buy from arachnids from pet stores!). When I brought her home to Drammen the first thing I did was to tell my mum, one day later she came to me and asked: "The scorpion isn't real is it?"
Some days later she escaped from the terrarium and when I found her and tried to get her up in a box she singed my thumb 3-4 times in row (I still got a scar as a memory of that).
One year I was afraid for her to die since she wouldn't eat (she just ate two crickets and one cockroach and one locust I think), but after a while her appetite came back (
video).
And the last year she has accomplished to eat HugeSpiders
Pandinus imperator male and been handled by a woman on a exhibition (the second time she was handled in my care and the only one without gloves) without stinging.
She has been a lovely girl full of attitude and I'm going to miss her...
Rest in peace my little girl
