Saying goodbye to an old friend

Sometime last evening my rat brother Callahan passed over to the Rainbow Bridge. We are all sad that he passed, and he will be dearly missed. One of daddy's favorite pet (at the same level as us bunnies), are rats. Daddy says that rats and bunnies are very similar in many ways, we seek attention from our humans, we can both be taught to use a litter box, and most of all like to play.
Although people think rats are ugly and gross, they are missing out on a great pet, daddy thought that way once, but then he found the friendly side to pet rats and just how full of personality they are. The terrible thing is a rats short life span, just three years.
In a few weeks we will begin a search for a new baby rat, to fill the void left by Callahan's passing. Once we find the right one we will post a blog with pictures of the new addition to our family.
