Goodbye Coconut

Why does a good hot day have to turn into a bad cool night? My second rat passed away tonight. Even though she was around the same age as Buttercup. You have to feel sorry for them. Even though I understand what happens to all life that passes away. It hits me like a ton of bricks. Little rats are so sweet and social to everyone. Coconut was truly a good part of the family.

Aww, I'm sorry you lost one of your buddies.

Rats really can be sweethearts. They're so affectionate!

These were the sweetest rats I have ever owned. They were a lot like me. Outgoing and friendly. They didn't care about male rats or different animals like my cat or my friends dog. They loved them all the same.

Oh how sad! Rest in peace Coconut.

Get a turtle, they have a long life span.

I'm sorry you lost your pet / friend.

sorry you lost your little friend, we had 2 white rats and a guinie pig at one time so I know what you are talking about...

I used to have a grey rat that I name Splinter.

He got pretty big until he got parvo 8(

Had to put him down.
I loved that rat!

Do you think Coconut missed Buttercup so much that she couldn't go on?

sorry for both your losses

It's okay. We're going to buy another little rat. We have 2 rats currently left. Coco and cocopuff. Cocopuff is a pup and coco is getting to become an old rat.
