Saddest day of my life.

[Ria]

Today is the day, I have to say good bye to my old boy Oskar. His age is unknown, but he was fully grown when I adopted him, and have cared for him for 1 and a half years, so we assume he's easily 3 to 3 and a half years old!

He's nestled up in a box of bedding and kitchen roll, I do hope he drifts into a nice peaceful sleep, vet is booked just in case, hoping it will get cancelled and he'll go at home! Oh my baby, I'll always miss you, out of all the rats I ever owned, you were the most amazing! I love you, it breaks my heart to see you so fragile! <3

Thank you everyone, it's been so weird without Oskar. He was the first I saw in the morning, and last I saw at night-time. Ughhhh I misss him, but I am also glad he is no longer feeling rough and old and at peace! <3

Probably won't get another rat for a while, I will keep his cage in storage and concentrate on my parrot, tame and train him etc. Oskar I miss you, and you always be in my thoughts and memories no other rat was ever like you <3

One of the hardest parts of being a "mom" is having to help a beloved baby to the Rainbow Bridge.

When their quality of life has diminished to the point where they no longer see the joy in living... you have to be strong.

You were strong sweetie and your boy will forever watch over you from his silver cloud in the sky. :love6:

Give your parrot a kiss from me (when he is tame enough to do so) and feel free to share your pain of loss with us here.

I lost my last boy in March of last year and am taking a break as well for health reasons. Still, I am a member of the Rat Shack because being connected with the rat lovers here helps keep me happy. :heart:

Hugs to you. Hang in there. :rose:

I am so sorry. There is a big empty space in your life, and it takes a long time to come to terms with that. :hugs:
