Here it is a week later and I too am still crying over little flower. It broke my heart to watch the episode. I thought the commercials leading up to the episode that told of her death was possibly going to be just exaggerated by the network and nothing bad would actually happen but when i watched it was like a death in the family. I know I am such a "pansy" anyway but this has just broken my heart and i cant help but feel sorry for zaphod. I am beginning to be just as attached to Mitch. He is my new favorite now. When the show called her the "favorite rose" it was just like the death of princess Di. And here I sit, tears streaming down my cheeks as I write this. I hope rocketdog will follow in her mothers footsteps and capture our hearts just as little flower did.

wow -- This one took me totally by surprise. I know Flower lived to a good age for meerkats, but had really hoped that when her time came, it would be peaceful. She obviously suffered, & the shots of her after she was bitten were almost too much to watch. But she's at rest now, & it was good to see her spare little Axel's life after Mitch rescued him. RocketDog seems to be off to a good start following in her mom's footsteps--------it's Zaphod I really feel for now. Thanks everyone, for banding together and showing that it's OK to cry for a brave little animal we'd never even met.

ALL OF YOU READING THIS REMEMBER FLOWER IS NOT REPLACED FROM TAKING CARE OF THE WISKERS SHE IS STILL TAKING CARE OF THEM IN HEAVEN I KNOW I SOUND WEIRED BUT SHE'S TAKING CARE OF LEN SQIGGY SHAKESPEAR HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND MOST OF ALL SHE'S WITH HER MOM/HOLLY AGAINBE HAPPY FOR HER

I am its so sad. It seemed like flower made it through everything. But she will always be ramembered as a good leader. (sniff)

We are crying we sad. We love Flower and wished she was our own. She will be missed but never forgotten.
Flower was a beloved mother and she was
a mentor for all meerkat lovers.

i know this post is supposed to be about flower but can anyone tell me what has happened to mozart. she is still in the opening credits of the new show. somehow i lost touch with where she went. my email address is the same as my screenname here with aol. please respond if you know, thanks,
sandy

when i saw the episode where flower died I went to sleep so i could believ it was just a dream.

yes... still crying, and i will always be... i missed our lovely flower so much!!!

Yes, it is very hard with Flower no longer here. I am still in shock over her death. It is so unfair. I understand that it is nature's way, but that does not make it any easier. I just never thought of her being killed, because she was so tough. There will never be another meerkat like Flower.

I'm wondering if the name of this tread shoud be has anyone stopped crying? In my area Meerkat Manor has been coming on about every 4 hours and of course I watch it and I'm back to square one every time.Maybe I'm trying to hang on to Flower for just a little longer-I can't seem to let go. The first time I saw Journey's End I know I haven't felt such shock and horror since 9\11. I just didn't see it coming. It's comforting to know that there are so many of you who are crying right along with me and probably at this very moment. It helps to know I'm not crying all by myself.

I know that everyone is shocked by flowers death but almost everyone here is an adult and don't really have to worry about being embarressed by crying because you either live alone or can go some where else to cry. I want to cry but every where in my house there are people and i'm to scared to cry in front of them. It is so hard to hold back my tears. We'll miss you flower!

Yes, I am still mourning and crying over Flower's death. I cannot help it. And now Zaphod will be leaving the burrow!!! My heart aches for him to be left behind without Flower!!! I don't care who sees me crying. I love the show, and even though I am so emotional over the next crisis, I cannot stop watching.

Yes I am still crying. Wondering how little Zaphod will survive without his mate.

not so much anymore but I cannot bring myself to watch the show.

:
im still crying to this day i watched it the day after it premired im soo sad R.I.P. Flower

It took a lot of strength on my part to be able to watch any more episodes. I was so scared of what might happen next. Who would be the next tragedy. But I am very glad I was able to watch the new episode.

Yes!! I didn't find out about her death 'til last Monday and I cried all night. Felt so bad the next day at work. Then last night I watched the episode and I didn't want to at first. I thought it would be too much but my son said let's watch it, we need to know how it happened. So we did and I cried and I still makes me so sad but then I said I have to see how the rest of her family is doing. I am glad I watched it and I will always remember her!!! She is my hero

I am still crying and I still can't belive our Flower is gone to be with God.

she was a very good mother and a good chef.I was very sad .My mom saw cring.we loved flower very much and we like the new chef.thank you flower for caving the pups.

I honestly thought I had cried myself out, then last night when I watched the episode again before the new one aired, tears streamed down my face anew. The next episode with Zaphod trying to stay in the group was another painful aspect of the loss of dear Flower. Of course, we know that her death has far more impact for the mob than for us, yet, I find myself grieving their loss even more.

It's as though I had need to somehow help them, but know that I can't. Maybe that's why so many people came up with "what ifs" that they accused filmmakers and researchers of not doing better. It's that lack of control that makes us so helplessly pained by the loss. I know that everyone concerned has suffered this loss. If we, a world away, grieve to this extent, I can't even fathom the depth of pain suffered by those much closer to the situation.

I have been crying and sobbing ever since I saw the episode where Flower died. I had heard that something was coming that would change everything but I didn't really expect it to be flower. She was so special and the last episode where she adopted Axel and then she died defending her babies showed what she was really made of as if we didn't already know. The only thing that helps is that last week our minister said that it hurts so much when we lose someone but that God looks down in his garden and picks a flower to take home to be with Him. And God looked down and took Flower from His garden and took her home to be with Him. And she is now running and playing in heaven where there are no battles and no pain or sickness anymore. And she left a great legacy for us to remember her by. Deborah

I thought I was the only one still crying over Flowers death a week ago. In fact while writing this I'm crying again. I was so shocked when it happened! Especially because I was so happy when little Axel was excepted into the group. If I would of known what was about to happen I would not have watched, just for the fact that the shot of her dying and her head all swollen haunts me. I know its life and nature but I wish I could of been spared her last moments. I've told friend about this episode and I think they think I'm crazy. So I'm glad their are others out there who think I'm not. Thanks!!!

Yes, I am still crying .
Flower will never be replaced in my heart. She was the simply the best. I am looking forward to seeing her children grow. I do look forward to watching the other gangs, but it will not be the same without Flower.
Zaphod looks so sad without her. I can't help but feel he is lost without his mate. I think he hopes Flower will come back soon, that is why he is still there with their gang. Waiting for his love.

i was so sad i cried so much i beacame so depressed about the show im always going to watch it my cousin was crying her heartout. flower was my cousins and my favorite meerakat my cousin and i were so surprised

It was hard to get a private moment away from my family to take the time to post my message because they can not understand why I am so upset and neither can I.
I heard of Flower's death during a conversation in my office and was shaken but seemed ok with the news. Then, on Friday evening I didn't realize they were replaying the previous week's episode and saw it for myself. I was immediately brought to tears and could not stop for hours. Never has an event like this shaken me to my core! Even now as I read all of these postings I am typing through tear-filled eyes.

Flower's human counterparts have a lot to learn from her. She was strong, loving, intelligent, and larger than life. Her death suprised me because week after week we watched her face danger and adversity and come through unscathed. I hope her daughter's will continue her legacy and lead the Whiskers like Flower did with such grace and ease.

It was hard to see her suffer for single moment so I am glad the researchers only offered us a brief glimpse of Flower and then let her die with dignity off screen.

I would have loved to see her saved but I do understand that it is wrong to interfere with nature. These events occur everyday in the lives of these little creatures, but never do we connect with them like we all did with Flower.

I am glad that I had a chance to share moments of her life and she will live long in the memory of this fan.......

I only found out about the passing of dear,sweet Flower.It breaks my heart,and yes I am still mourning for her.
Rest in Peace dear Flower.
