Chupachup Helped to the Bridge

Chupachup was helped to the bridge today.  He is survived by his "brothers" Harold and Rutherford and was preceded in death by Billy.

Chupachup was a big love bug and he was always very lovey.  He would launch from his hammock to the door when I walked into the room.  This past week he lumbered to the door. :(

Chupachup had developed a tumor and due to his age I decided to keep him comfortable for as long as possible.

He was 33 months old.

Rest in peace gentle giant.

Susie Helped to the Bridge

Susie was helped to the bridge today.  She had multiple tumors that appeared in various places  on her body at the same time.  It was decided that due to her age and respiratory status, she was not a candidate for surgery so we would keep her as long as she was comfortable.

I think she had the best time living with the group of girls these past few months.  Hanging out in hammocks, running up and down levels, she was a good girl.  She didn't care too much to be handled but she loved her cage mates.

Rest in peace little girl.

Little Joey Passes

Joey, a little neutered rattie boy, passed today.  Joey was adopted from a person that was rehoming all of her rats.  He was adopted with Potter.  After Potter passed, Joey was moved in with Isabella as Isabella was also alone.  He was a very sweet little boy and loved his original cage mate Joey and his later cage mate Isabella.  Joey was approximately 35 months old.

Sadly I am on vacation visiting family so my husband was the one that found Joey when he went to do the morning feeding and watering.  Joey has been prepared for private cremation at the Oregon Humane Society.

Run and be free little guy.  You will be missed.
