Roscoe says goodbye

Sadly Roscoe left us today.  Roscoe was the third of my rats to meet my Grandma Peggy and the second rat that has ever stayed at my parents house.  His favorite food was, everything, but he LOVED french fries.  His nickname was #FrenchFryShark because he'd "break" up the cage to get one.  They were fried but usually unsalted.  :*)

I will miss this gregarious little soul that had horrible beginnings and still came to be a loving rat.

Rest in peace little Roscoe.

Bartholomew Kisses Us Goodbye

My kissy boy Bartholomew was put to sleep today.  He had been suffering from hind end paralysis.  Seemingly overnight, he become completely paralized and stopped eating.  He couldn't even hold himself up.  As his quality of life would be greatly diminished I spent several hours sitting with him while he drifted in and out of sleep.  He will be greatly missed.  He was my tv buddy.  He loved to sit on my chest and snuggle in the blankets while I watched television in the evenings.

He was preceded in death by his brother Lentil (aka Oliver).

Rest in peace my kissy boy.
