The I Feel Down Topic.

Cheers mate.
We've been through this enough times over the years, but it never gets any easier.

I was supposed to bring a couple of workmates home with me yesterday after we wrapped, to help me get through all this beer and cheese clogging up my fridge. We postponed that idea. I honestly expected to find him gone when I got home from work yesterday. Would have put a bit of a downer on the evening.

I guess at least he held on long enough for @Kelpie to get back from her folks last night. (We seem to have had a lot of them pass while she's been away, for some reason?)

Just had to take one of our rats on that one-way trip to the vet.
RIP Murphy. He was fine at lunchtime on boxing day. By that evening, he suddenly couldn't walk. Best guess is he might have had a stroke? But he's refused all food and water ever since. Had to make the call.

I will remember him by the first moment we got him home, in February: We opened the box, and he leapt out, dove straight in to the front pocket of my hoodie, and refused to come out for fifteen minutes.

Very sorry to hear that, we had to have one of our ratties PTS on Christmas Eve one year, that was a pretty rubbish Christmas. It's awful when they're fine one day and at death's door the next as well.

Yup. Those little chaos goblins may have an incredible pain tolerance, but they have binary health.

Been on my mind...

We were such a cool household to visit over the festivities, what with seven legs between us.

Bit normal now with just four.

Pets eh.
