Sultana Passes

Sultana passed this morning in her cage.  I found her when I went in.  :*(  Only Lobo remains of the group of New Mexico ratties.   Sultana, along with her two sisters, was not very social but it only took one or two times sitting with them for 20 minutes each where they opened up and allowed themselves to be handled.  She was the last of her 3 "sisters" that I adopted from the rescue.  She is survived by her cage mates:  Gus (n), Lil' Mama, Opal, Sapphire, Emerald, Jade, Bailey, and Sweet Pea.  A lot of names are new so Gus is a fellow that came to me because his previous owners were scared of him as he kept biting.  (He doesn't now.)  Opal, Sapphire, Emerald and Jade came to me because their previous owner could no longer keep them.  Bailey came to me because she was also a poorly socialized little girl.  We're still working on her.  She's very...squirrelly.  And of course Sweet Pea was one of the Idaho rescues.  Sultana was well loved with her cage mates and she will be sorely missed by her friends.

Please note, her death is not unexpected, she has been battling chronic respiratory issues for some time.

Rest in peace little girl!

Blossom Passes

Blossom, one of my little Idaho girls passed away unexpectedly.  She was found curled asleep in the igloo. :(

She is survived by her "sibling" Sweet Pea and cage mates Currant, Sultana, Little Mamma, Jelly, and the ancient one, Isabella.

Blossom loved to dangle from the top of the cage and dart through the tunnel.  Her favorite food was broccoli.  Like other girls, she preferred to scrabble around than hang out with me but she did like to be pet and play hand chase.

Rest in peace Blossom!

Raisin Unexpectedly Exits

I'm very upset, Raisin, one of my New Mexico rattie girls, has passed unexpectedly.   She went through so much to get here and now she has gone.  The only comfort I have is that she at least was with her cage mates.

She has been prepared for private cremation at the Oregon Humane Society.  She is survived by her 2 "sisters" Currant and Sultana.

Rest in peace little Raisin.
