I know this is a bit preemptive, but I'm also resigned to the fact it's inevitable. Either I'll come home tonight to bury you or I'll come home to call Animal control to come and put you to sleep so you aren't suffering.
I don't know why your mom never came back to get you. I wish I did and I wish I had a way to make you understand. Little light guy, ever since I found you on Saturday I've hoped you'd be okay, even though I know better. I've hoped you'd squeak loud enough that your mom would come and find you. Little dark guy, I guess if nothing else he squeaked loud enough for you to find him so now neither of you has to be alone at the end.
I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I'm sorry the best I could do was give you your box and hot water bottle. I'm sorry we live in a province that doesn't give a d@mn about wildlife, I'm sorry for everyone who wanted to help but couldn't and I'm sorry for every person I've spoken to this week who hasn't cared enough to even try to help me keep you alive. I dare every person who's told me that you're just vermin to watch you guys for just a few minutes then try and say the same.
I'm trying to tell myself that this is the better way. That if you grew up here, you'd end up trapped and killed or hit by a car or attacked by a dog before you were even adults, but I still wish I had the power to give you that chance. I'm so sorry, little guys. I hope and pray that your next life is better than this one.
