I was crying when they showed that. And they played the music that tugged on my heart strings more than ever when it happened. I understand the fact that 1/4 of all meerkat pups don't make it to adulthood but this was uncalled for. I am going to march down to Africa and shoot that goshawk. Animals have no understanding of right and worng, I know that; but why, why, why. I hope everyone agrees with me. Poor Blossom. I can hardly type this. You know what? That whole episode was total gaebage. Just garbage. I won't be watching the show. Too much tragedy, too little releif. I just can't watch it anymore and if I end up doing it then I guess it's something in me. I am crying for poor Blossom. Do you think her meerkat spirit is okay?
Please don't give up the show. I know there is tragedy, but there are also many happy moments.
Remember after what happened to Bubbles. It's still my contention that we all focused too much on Bubbles and not enough on Squeak. if you watch that episode from the perspective of what could have happened to Squeak too and then see that final shot of him cradled on the arms of an adult who would not let him go....I don't know how else to put it but it was the mos prescious moment of MM for me ever, made even more precious knowing what could have happened to him.
I guess what I am getting at is this, I mourn the lost and focus on the survivors nd enjoy them all the more knowing that our time together could be short. This is true of MM and life in general.
The moral of the story is that Blossom was way to young to be out there on her own. If she would have stayed with her mom and the group most likely this tradgedy would not have happened. But she was an explorer and liked adventure. She had a lively spirit and I feel certain that her spirit is fine and now will watch over her family.
I too pray she's in a better place now. I like to believe in animals being in heaven, so it gives me just a little comfort thinking of her in a place where she can have all the adventure she wants, without the fear of predators. But still..of all the babies that could die, why did it have to be little blossum? In fact, why do pups have to die at all? Blossum had such a fiesty spirit, and it would have been nice to see her as a grown merrkat, perhaps taking after her brothers Shakes and Mitch. But now she will never grow up... She was my favorite....
Hate to burst your bubble, but we all saw it. The pup, the hawk, Blossom being carried away to her death. *sniff* But there's a silver lining to every cloud, right? Maybe they wanted us to think Blossom got carried away and was killed but maybe the people doing the show couldn't stand that and at least frightened the bird into dropping Blossom who got caught by a net. I doubt that, though.

I decided to keep watching; I don't know why. ... I don't know what to do.
We never saw a close up of what the Hawk was carrying. Perhaps it stole a meerkat from the Commandos who deserved to lose a member after what they did to poor little Bubbles! Maybe Blossom was dropped and adopted by the same family that adopted Shakespeare and Tosca when they were all alone. Think positively!!! Believe what makes you feel better and have a wonderful day.
Could someone please tell me how to post a new string instead of only being able to post as a reply? This is the most user UNfriendly site I've ever been to. Not only that, why is the Meerkat home page so outdated? It still has Shakespear as one of the main characters. Maybe I missed something, but the last little bit of info on him was that he was 'missing and presumed dead' LAST YEAR!! I'd sure like closure on that one. Grumble #3: How on earth could they film poor Blossom in her plight and not rescue her? I'm done with the show. And disgruntled with this website. Luv y'all though!
Please don't anyone give up on the show. There are so many meerkats to care about and learn from. Yes the lesson can sometimes be too brutal to even understand and we cry our hearts out, but we must continue to support all of the little ones we now know and love. Season 2 is ending and new pups are on the way from both mother & daughter. Sadly we know what we may expect, but we too have to remain strong. There will be a season 3 to look forward to watching.
I had never heard of a meerkat in my life until MM. I mourn & miss all the little ones we have lost, but I will continue to be a part of their lives as they are of mine. I too wonder about AP's methods but I thank them for introducing me to these amazing Earthlings.

It hurt soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I have an empty place in my heart. No not empty, the memory of Blossom, Bubbles and all the love and respect I have for our little friends fills it, but that little girl was special.
I will never forget Youssarian searching for her and lovingly bringing her back to the burrow. I just know he gave her a good talking to. I wished she had listened, but it was not her nature to just let the world go by.
