My wonderful siamese rat, Tobias, passed away today.
He was alive when I got home from work. He was old, but I'm afraid it may have been disease that took him -- In just a few hours he had started to decompose. I'm a little bit traumatised by it. His brothers died so soft and pink. I don't understand it. I really hope he went peacefully. I didn't even take him out of his cage yesterday. I feel so horrible. Now I will never see him again..
He was such a sensitive soul. He definatly held his own against the other animals though. He was tough with them, but such a love for mom. His brother, Oliver, passed away in November. And now him.. .leaving their adopted brother, Nathaniel, friendless.
I don't know what I will do, as Nathaniel will need a friend, but I can not bear to get another rat. They break my heart every time. I'm still mourning the losses of Frisco and Icarus, and now this.
RIP my baby Tobias. You were such a sweet, curious boy. Now you will be forever with your brother, Oliver.
