Masque was one of my sweetest and most unique pet rats ever. However, she was very old and stopped eating. A couple days ago she tried to bite me, and Saturday I realized how much pain she was in, and had been in for a long time. I had no choice but to put her down.
Beryllium was my favorite rat. So cute and kind, she and I would sit on the porch when it rained and listen to the raindrops. She developed a tumor and we worried that it might be malignant. However, with my intense care and love, she managed to live for almost a full year with her tumor. On Thursday I came home from school and she was dead.
I have no electronic pictures of her.
Both of them will forever live on in my heart…
