Good grief I know the feeling.
Years ago, (bot not long enough, I tried to combine mom and full grown kids,
resulting in a badly bitten mom.
I was so ashamed.

Esther - I've made a similar mistake and it resulted in the death of my
favorite little black gerbil, Jeremiah, and the maiming of my recently
deceased Spot-Spot. It's really hard to live with making these type of
mistakes because we are responsible for these little critters. If I could
undo the damage I'd do it in a heartbeat. Best I can do is to learn from
this and make sure it is not repeated.
