Best Rat That Ever Lived

Dear Friends of Rat,

The sweetest, bestest rat in the whole world just passed away. :*0(

He lived to be just over 3 years old, which is a nice, old age for a rat. He was always very friendly; he licked fingers and cutely grinned whenever he was pet (he especially liked being stroked by an old toothbrush). He also loved food, especially yogurt dips and raisins. He hated coming out of his cage, but always sniffed and peeked out of the open cage door to investigate smells and noises. He was afraid of the exercise ball and exercise. He was a homey rat, liked to make bedding under a Kleenex box, and bit through anything that passed through his cage.

I loved him so much, and I thank all of you for playing with him at one time or another, and Eric for bringing him into my life. I will definitely miss him and always remember the bestest rat in the whole world.

Funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as I make the plans.
