1) Craigslist posting: $700 / 1br - Suite for rent includes all utilities, cable, parking, pet! (Delta). I wonder what kind of pet the suite comes with? This is almost on par with the sign on the sumpster the other day: Do not leave around. Put garbage in tank.

2) I adore you-- can I possibly describe how reassuring it is when someone knows their own mind accurately enough to be precise about this sort of thing? So many people lump all positive emotions under love, and all negative reactions under anger or hate. Thank you.

3) Lightning is dead. I took her in this morning. She died on the way to the vet. She was *not* having fun anymore. She was only eighteen months. She is getting necropsied- her dad Uno died of cancer at about that age, as did her aunt Tiva (though Tiva was much older). She is survived by a ton of kids and a ton of grandkids, including Erin's litter, raised by Lizzy, whose eyes have recently opened. I'm concerned about those kids. I had thought Silver would go first, because Lightning always had so much spunk and energy. That was her undoing, I guess. She got a little thin this week, but I didn't prioritise the vet visit cause she was still lively, and then I was out last night and got a call from Bob this morning because he was worried. I should have made more effort to take her in sooner. I should have taken her to a so-so vet rather than wait longer for one I really liked.

4) I am sad and kind of up-in-the-air.

Thanks, sweetheart. I love you too. And I see you sitting at the computer four feet away from me, too, so I will give you a hug.

I'm so sorry for your loss...

...but's not your fault for not prioritizing the appointment. Rats are sneaky. They hide their illness much too well. I'm sure there was nothing you could have done differently to change the outcome. Btw, while there was no necropsy done, the vet said that aunt Tiva likely died of kidney failure, not cancer. I am glad to hear that Lizzy's eyes have recently opened... it's about time!

I'll echo ratanist. I'm so sorry to hear of Lightning's death, but it isn't your fault. These things do occur, and we can't always predict which direction they'll go. Don't blame yourself.

Oh no.... I'm so sorry Erin. I can't believe that lovely girl of yours left you so young. What a heartbreaker, that lady. Big hugs to you & scritches to all your little ones.

Hugs

Sorry you lost a little one so early. I still think that rats' lives are unfortunately short. Just give that extra love to all the other littles in your care.

Karma was off her food again yesterday, and had 'blood' in her stool in the morning. There comes a point when you can't run your furry friends to the vet everytime they seem a bit off. She's alert, and clear-eyed and happy, but her tummy was squeaky and gurgly yesterday. It's frustrating that animals can't tell us what their symptoms are. Three vet visits, $1000.00 in bills, and three weeks of anti-biotics seems to have not fully dealt with her intestinal issues, but I can't be sure she's not just reacting to all of the packing boxes blocking her way around the house.....
