What an awful decision you had to make! There is no one to borrow from? Or something you could sell??? I don't know which is worse...losing all three of my babies in 5 days or having to give them away!!

Do you have a good home for them? This is a sad day indeed - my heart goes out to you and some of the tears I shed for Bart, Kaiya and Makeda I will shed for you...

Jamie, I am truly sorry to hear about your predicament. You are a responsible person doing what you have to do and that is most important. I am sure you selected good homes for your chams and I hope there will be a possibility of getting them back eventually. We are all thinking of you. Many hugs.

FOR EVERY DOOR THAT CLOSES ANOTHER OPENS.
unfortunately sometimes it is the door to hell that opens and demon bats fly out by the hundreds then the gremlens come....Lol
It is very difficult to keep reptiles without electricity, believe me I have tried. It will be fine, just remember your character is your destiny luv.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! You guys are so great!

(and thank you especially lele cuz i know you're going thorugh a really tough time yourself, my thoughts have been with you!)

I know im doing the right thing, and Clank and George are going to be living in the same place, so at least they wont be separated. (not that chams care, but its good for my peace of mind, anyway.)

The plan is to get settled wherever we're moving to and then build some custom cages and get some more chams, but not right away, the bills have to be paid and i have to get everything just perfect for them (my OCD is good for something at least!) ...but we're thinking of getting into panthers and then i want a mellers just for myself, to be my special cham.

But i'm not leaving, and im not letting it break my heart, though it hurts like Heck to see them go. I'll be working tonight when their new dad comes to get them, so i wont have an excuse to stay home and cry.

Anyway, thanks again guys, you're really great!
*hugs*
Jamie
