Within the past hour we just lost our Beloved Sadie. She was our oldest, yet
she was just over a year old. We have now lost 3 rats in about 2 months. Our
hearts are heavy and tired of this loss.
Sadie had shown no signs of illness until the past week. She started with
acting a bit out of sorts. As if not all cogs were clicking. She seemed
fuzzled and a bit unsteady. Then within the past two days she showed signs
of breathing difficulties. Nothing major, no gasping or wheezing, just
labored. When we first got her as a young one, she and her sis both came
with bad respiratory infections. Her sis died within a week, but Sadie
rallied and did share a wonderful year with us.
She now joins all your fur babies who have journeyed across the bridge.
Love to all.

Oh Lynn, I'm so sorry for your loss of Sadie. I know how hard it is when
you lose so many so close together. :(

Lynn, 3 losses in 2 months is so hard. It's the hardest part of all of
this!! It sounds like Sadie was a strong girl who fought hard to stay with
you for a year. My deepest sympathies.

Oh lynn, I'm so sorry,
Having just lost 5 rats in one month, I sure know how you feel.
Even knowing that they are sickly, it's still so hard to accept.
It seems like it's something we just won't get over but in the end we do
somehow...

Than you to all my rat friends. You are the best.
Oddly, Sadie's companion rat, Yoko, is acting really horrid. Since The
passing, Yoko is now grumpy and trying to bite me. She is even treating her
kids badly - biting and clawing and screaming at them (they are all grown).
I do believe she is suffering some serious grief. I hope she recovers soon.
She has always been the most gentle of rats. This is hard to see.
Again,
thank you for being so kind and comforting.

I'm sorry for your loss. Just over a year is way too young, but at least
she's had a wonderful life living with you.
