It was cute how Len always stayed by Sqiggy's side. Len was killed so early in life. He'll be missed even though he was on only for one episode. He had a heart of gold and so does Squiggy. By the way, was that a wart on Mitch's nose?!?
Poor Squiggy! I can't beleive they just left him! Also, I can't beleive they lost both pups! Oh, um by the way do you think the fact that Flower only had 2 pups had anything to do with Zaphod's older age?
Where is Flower? Poor Len and Squiggy. Mitch is trying. Daisy is trying. Rocket Dog bit off too much. Houdini, you rascal is right! So, Rocket Dog, Daisy, and ? are all pregnant?
I can't stop bawling. Why couldn't the adults pick up the babies? I know they were running for their lives too from the hawk but why couldn't someone just pick them up? And how could they live that little baby behind?? Oh gosh I can't stop crying!!
Wow, the death toll just keeps rising this season, doesn't it? Poor little Len. And it looks like things are going from bad to worse for the Whiskers. And with Flower's death fast approaching, it doesn't look like things will be getting any better any time soon.
I can't believe it!!!! I'm officially never ever watching this again... 3 weeks in a row with such a sad outcome... goodbye forum!!! best luck to you all... and i hope all our meerkats will be safe =/
OMG, I can't stop crying!!! I really don't think I can do this anymore. It's too much, too sad I'm going to hear that poor little baby's cry for help all night long: and Len, OMG, OMG..... n
Oh, Len and Squiggy. First, Len got killed by a bird of prey (it reminded me of Blossom), then Squiggy was left behind, leaving him to die. This is the loss of Flower's second litter of Season 3.
The really sad part was that Len had a chance! If it wasn't for that dang-gum hawk.... >
I really had little to no hope for Squiggy's future, knowing how much of a burden his deformed leg had been. But to have the camera pan out on him while he screams for help.... Gawd! *grabs heart*
Oh, and how about this: "Mitch" comes to the rescue. Again. Aren't there OTHER male Whiskers there?? Why does it always have to be Mitch?
Oh, and thanks Animal Planet, for airing Carlos' commercial one week after he died. *rolls eyes*
I am really having a difficult time dealing with Season 3. Last week we lost Carlos, before that Mozart's pups and now BOTH Len and Squiggy! The tears flow and while I know that these things happen all of the time to wild meerkats, it is breaking my heart. The tears keep coming and there is no joy on the Manor tonight. And worse is yet to come. I am off to light some candles for all of them. MEERKATS RULE!!!
Mady, please don't rush off the forum. I know how bad you feel. Let's face, it IS nature and this probably happens everyday. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me as well. It was alot easier before AP gave these cute critters names and dropped them in our laps for a half hour every week. Hang in there. At least we have this great forum to share our feelings.
Does it get any worse than this? Oh, yeah, it does. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Maybe they should have just shown every episode in one day instead of prolonging our heartache. Squiggy left in the desert was just too much. I was already bawling over Len. This really aggravated my TMJ and gave me a migraine. I'm still sitting here crying. I think I'll just go to bed. I'm not watching this rerun for sure.
Also, it p'd me off that they showed Carlos' commercial. GGGrrrrr...
MadysMomma! Don't give up hope yet. It's your choice, but you can come back to the forum anytime to check up on the meerkats and see if anything good happens. Hopefully, that "something good" happens soon!!
I don't know that I can continue to watch the show.
I LOVE MEERKATS!!
But one (or more) deaths per show is too much. I don't recall either of the prior seasons being so morbid.
Yes, I know these things really happen in the wilds of the Kalihari. But, I agree with meerkatmike; it's time for Meerkat Manor to come forth with some upbeat stuff for a change.
When each show leaves one in tears, it ceases to be fun to watch.
Friends who have watched Meerkat Manor at my suggestion have refused to watch any longer. They say it makes them too sad.
If there wasn't a harsh drought going on, then maybe- just maybe- little Squiggy would have had a chance. It's no one's fault except Nature itself that he died.
I gotta give it to Flower for making a huge sacrifice; she must have known that the group is better in fewer numbers. But sadly, her efforts will be in vain thanks to careless Maybelline and Daisy.
I didn't know Flower has lost two liters this season?? When did this happen? I haven't got to watch this episode yet. I love and hate the show at the same time. It always makes me cry, my husband hates when I watch it because I cry like a baby lol.
I...I really don't know what to say...I knew this was coming, because of my KMP detective amateur detective work, but I have never prayed so hard to be wrong...sadly I was not.
I am extremely angry over the distasteful, insensitive promos. This one actually made me more irate than last week's promo. As an advertising copywriter, I know there are ways to promote a product, event, or television program through edgy, witty copy. This was neither. It was simply degrading.
Len and Squiggy, I hope you guys are snuggling in a cuddle pile with Blossom and Bubble, being taken care of by your sweet momma, Flower. Knowing those sweet boys are not alone over on the Rainbow Bridge is the only thing comforting me right now.
I'm going to hear that poor little baby's cry for help all night long: and Len, OMG, OMG.....
