Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / February 2007

Hi all,

I thought last year was pretty miserable with the loss of so many of
my fuzzybutts but this year is off to a flyer as well..:(  First Ollie
my dog, then Neo the cat earlier this week and now Pinto today.  My
poor old mans back legs just completely gave out on him.  Pinto
(squinto) was an old boy very cuddly and oh so loveable.  He loved to
cuddle into the crook of my elbow and snooze his retirement away...:)
Pinto was a PEW and in the end his eyes looked dreadful with poryphrin
along with his nose.  He had also lost a lot of weight very quickly
and I noticed breathing problems last night.  All in all it all
pointed to sinister things going on inside my old boy.
I know he is a happy Rattie now with all the otheres who have gone
before... for me I just feel hollowed out.  Just too much sadness in a
short space of time.

Take care all and lots of scritches to the fuzzys who rule your
household.
Regards Kate
