Sad news comes to the Rat City


While my morning tea is steeping I thought I'd take a moment to deliver the sad news on the home front. One of my fuzzy babies, B.U. Phinnaeus died last Saturday night. It was particularly tragic as apparently she choked on something. And, yes, I did actually try the rat Heimlich maneuver - there is such a thing! - and when she stopped breathing I attempted CPR but to no avail. As I always try to look to the good in bad situations, I figure that she was a little sickly and I was worried that she's die when I was in the DR. So at least this way I could be present for passing and take a lovely walk through Discovery Park with Benny where we saw many happily abandoned pet rabbits and several zippy hummingbirds before finding a particularly horrid spot for digging (sorry Benny!) for Phin's final resting spot.

She is survived by her sister, H.T. Vanderrat and her special friend Umlaut.

She will be missed terribly.
