Meerkat Flower Died!!

[Janet]

Isn't is awful that we can get attached to 'characters/people/animals in shows. I remember when the show Dallas ended. I cried for days. I had only missed one show in the thirteen seasons it was on and that's because the VCR didn't work. I felt like I was losing family members. That they were moving away and I'd never see them again.

Then on Meerkat Manor, I had no idea Flower was going to die and the effect it had on me. When the narrator said she 'suffered a fatal bite' I yelled out NOOO! I just cried. I felt like she was one of my pets or something. Then Saturday morning when I woke up, she was the first thing on my mind...can you believe it!

Maybe the moral of this is I just need to get off my butt and quit watching so much TV.

Janet, that's exactly how I felt when I finished the last Harry Potter book. I mean, it had been a part of my life for SO long and then suddenly it's gone. I still feel sad when I think about the fact that there isn't another book to wait for this time...

(I made a post about this once for 4wt, right after I finished the book, but felt silly about it so I never submitted it. It really did make me very sad though...)

Yes it IS awful how we get attached, but it seems like all the good programs/shows, end much faster then others

I've been planning to watch that show. It looks really interesting.

Of course you're devastated when a critter you come to love dies. She was real, even if only on TV - not even acting!

I could never watch Dumbo or Bambi because their mothers died, and I never let my daughter watch them either.

Some people are just softies.
