Goodbye Sis

I took both of my rats into be put to sleep today because of their tumors. I was not very happy about this, but Sis had a big tumor (half the size of her body), and Mandy had a smaller one, and both are over two years old (they live to be 2 1/2 or 3). My vet, Dr B., talked me into trying surgery on both of them rather than just putting them to sleep. I feel much better about at least trying something, although unfortunately, Sis did not make it through surgery. So, whatever rats do in rat heaven, I hope you enjoy it sweetheart. Here is how I remember her:


Mandy is at home now, with staples in her side, but looking quite alert and hungry.
