dksuddeth I am so sorry for your loss
It always hurts when you loose an animal that has been depending on you and in this case it must be even worse. Rats are such intelligent (and in some cases affectionate) little creatures that loosing a rat is like loosing a cat or dog or any other animal which has enough of a personality to become a member of the family.
Pocket Angels sounds like a great idea, there are so many organisations for abandoned dogs and cats but other creatures tend to be left out in the cold, especially those who have a bad reputation (even if undeserved!)
Ode To A Rat
Always poking, always peeking,
Climbing, jumping, sometimes squeaking,
Twitching whiskers, cunning faces,
Hiding in the strangest places!
Nibbling here and napping there,
Always finds the time to spare
A fuzzy "kiss" upon my cheek.
Sometimes I wish that you could speak!
Bright eyes shining full of love,
A furry gift from up above.
Always glad to have me near.
Such a treasure! What a dear!
Folks can have their cats and dogs,
Horses, snakes, and even frogs.
For me you stand out from the rest.
No doubt about it- a RAT'S the best!
