How did I not know you used to have rats? (or maybe I just forgot?)
They really are awesome pets, but I'll agree that losing them is very hard to take. These two are rats # 21 and 22 for me. I still have #20, Dots, who is now two years old and probably won't be with me much longer. It'll break my heart when he goes - just like all the others did - but the joy they give me, even though it's only for a short time, is worth it. I think I'll have rats in my life until the day I die.
