Another Sad Day

My first pet rat, Kibbles, died this morning. I cried like a baby, was late for work, and I am just about ready to cry as I type this.

He was an awesome pet rat. He was smarter than most dogs and a real independent little guy, he will be dearly missed.

This is a very sad day for me.... :( :rainon:

:hug: So sorry to hear about Kibbles :hug: Lots of hugs coming your way! :hug::hug::hug::hug:

Poor little man. I just had to put one of my older rescue girls to sleep a few days ago. She came to be with three legs(hence her name Three-Legs). Her lungs were getting bad very quickly and when I saw her gasping, I knew it was her time. Still kissy to the end.

Sorry you lost your boy, Connie.

ohh! I'm so sorry for your loss. I still remember how hard it was when my girls passed away, if only they lived longer! *hugs*

Thanks you guys, it's good to have the thoughts and hugs.

Sorry Connie....*sad face*

Sorry Connie :(

im so sorry connie!! ((hugs))

Big hugs Connie. I know how these little furry fellows can work their way right into your heart. If you're coming to Taylor this weekend stop by the ScaleKids table and you can have a real hug. :)

I know Kibbles had a wonderful life with you and though that's not much comfort at a time like this, it is a great gift to give any of creature that much care, concern and love. Good for you and good for Kibbles.

Thanks Austin, Ashley and Rich. Kibble's death was one I knew would be very hard to deal with. He was a pet only, having been retired from breeding after only 2 litters.
He wasn't a very strong and robust guy, he had a weak immune system, but what he lacked in vitality he made up for in awesomeness.

Thanks a lot to you Jo, glad to hear you will have a table this month, although I don't believe Chris and I will be attending. You always have just the right thing to say and I would ask you to put a rain check on that hug for now. :hug:

I'm so sorry Connie. I can completely sympathize since the loss of my first girl. I still expect to see her come running when I walk in the room, and then remember she's gone. They're such special little critters, and I'm sure your boy had a great life. :hug:

Hang in there Connie. It's always sad to lose an animal.

I am so sorry to hear that Connie.

Losing a beloved pet is never easy. It sucks and it hurts.

They have such short lives our little rat friends, so it is the quality of life that matters, but he was dearly loved and well-cared for. That is the best any of our sweet socialable companions can ask for.

I cried more than I will admit to when our Ginger died... :tears:

Hey sweetness! So sorry about Kibbles. That kind of thing is never ok to deal with. I'm sure he had a great life. Big fat huggins from here!

A little late, but I so sorry. Those little fuzzballs can really steal our hearts.
