    RIP Noel
    It is with mixed emotions that I must report this morning that Noel quietly passed in her sleep last night. One one hand I am heart broken that this little spirit didn't make it, on the other, I'm glad that she is now free at the Rainbow Bridge with a perfect little body to run with no head tilt.

    She was doing so well, then last night I noticed she was very listless, I picked her up and her body was cool and I held her close to me to give her warmth and loved on her, but I knew in my heart that she probably would not make it through the night. She wasn't in any pain that I could tell, so the plans were to get up this morning if she made it through the night and see Dr. C for one last time. She spared me having to make that decision, so while I'm sad to see her gone, it wasn't unexpected to me this morning.

    On top of that, I woke up with one of those horrible sleep headaches, and I can't seem to shake it.

    Thank you to all of you who were her bp.net cheerleaders, your kind words as I struggled to save this little rat meant more than you could ever know!

    I'm so sorry Robin.. I've made it a point not to get attached to any of my rats because it's too hard on me if I do.

    :hug: I'm sorry that she's gone...but you gave her the best and longest life she could have hoped for, and I'm sure that she's grateful that someone loved her that much.

    Awwww! I know she was a trooper with everything she had been thru but now she no longer is having any issues and is probably eye boggling, hopping around, while stealing some other rats food. Be glad she is at peace now.
