I know there were other terribly sad loses in other books, but that one in MtW was too much for me. :( I've never been able to reread that book.

It was so easy to get attached, they were so charming. And I loved how each of the different types of animal had it's own flavor and accent. One of my favorite accents was the "northern" brogue 'cause suddenly I would hear Sean Connery in my head. :)
