Suddenly, and without apparent reason, my little rat, Taco, died Saturday evening. He was perfectly fine Friday, with his usual food-begging and scurrying during excercise time, and then when I got home Saturday afternoon, he didn't want to move and he didn't want to eat. There was nothing visible (other than his behaviour) to indicate anything was amiss. I rushed him to the vet, who couldn't do much (as I expected), and on the way home, he was gone. Poor little dude.
I think I felt worse, though, when he was sick (I hate to see animals suffer) than I do about him being gone (he's not sick now, thank goodness). And I feel bad for Fink now who has to be all alone without a buddy.

Taco is playing with new friends. He may even be telling them what fun it was at your house.
You are always so good to your pets, they are very loved.
Sad sis! I'm sorry to hear about Taco - at least he didn't suffer long. Mom's right, you are really good to your pets - he was spoiled.
I'm sorry to hear about your little guy. I'm also sorry that he never got a chance to hang out with my guys. I'll be sure to be extra nice to my guys tonight, because these things really can happen at any time.
I'm so sorry sis.
Rasputin is bumbling around my lap right now, begging for another potato chip and trying to crawl under my shirt. Really, rats are so sweet, we can even forgive them for breaking our hearts.
oh no!! that's terrible news! I'm so sorry he's gone :( I hate it when the animals go! I hate seeing them all sick and hurting. poor little guy.
You know that I feel terrible for both you and Taco. He was my personal favorite. But I'm always here for ya!
I'm so sorry to hear about Taco.
Poor Taco. You must get Fink a new buddy.
