wowwee i havent been on here in months! for those of you that remember, i was down to having a solo rat, Marnie, for a long few months. last month Marnie sadly passed away from complications of her arthritis and respiratory issues which lead to her having 2 strokes. she was taken to the vet, so that she could pass away painlessly and i think she had a very happy and full life despite living the last quarter of her life relying on me to be her partner in crime. she was truly ready to go and although i miss her and my other rats desperately, i know i couldnt force her to live until her natural last moments just for the sake of my own selfishness of not wanting to lose her
