Celebration of life
I've had to have my remaining rattie put down today, so i'm feeling a little upset about that, especially as she was my favorite of these two. that means i've lost both my little girls within 2 months of each other.
they had a good run though, living to about 2 years old (average age for a rat so i'm told) but they both got lumps (which they are susecptible to) not sure if they were cancerous or absess' but either way they're not pleasent for them.
my rats were great, all four of them brought me happiness and good memories over the years. pinky and the brain were the first two and kept me sane while i was in uni and they were sorely missed when they passed away. fudge and snowball, although being a constant reminder of an ex-girlfriend, also brought me entertainment, even if i had to go and buy a few plasters lol.
i'm not going to be getting any more rats now though, out of the 4 that i've had over the years, 3 have had lumps, both the girls and one of my boys.
it's a shame i haven't got a picture of them that i could post.
so here's to my ratties, pinky, the brain, fudge and snowball
thanks

Lust, Love, etc. - totally agree
Your new place - very exciting, even if it isn't your dream, it will be your own, right?
Pets - you owned rats!?!? Sorry to hear they are gone.

PX, I'm sorry to hear about your rats. We had mice infesting our apartment named Pinky and the Brain. Pinky fell into a waste basket once (he wasn't very smart), and my roommate tried to keep him as a pet. I put my foot down and set him free in the vacant lot behind the builing so he could frolic and eat garbage to his heart's content.

You have rats? *shivering uncontrollably*

While that freaks me out a bit...I AM sorry about what happened.
