This morning Pocky (aka Alien Eyes) passed away.
She was 3 1/2 years old and ridden with cancer.
She has always been the shy one, but one couldn't help but grow very fond of her. She was on the smaller size and was notorious for escaping from just about any cage. She was sweet, though, and always took care of the other girls.
I did cry a little when she died ... I will miss her. I knew this was coming, though, and I am happy she is out of pain. She had started going downhill just two nights ago. She wouldn't eat no matter what I tried. Yesterday she just slept all day, and this morning I found her very fatigued. I told her that it was okay for her to cross over and that if she couldn't I would have the vet help her. I guess she heard me, as when I came home early from classes she had passed. She looked like she was at peace.
This picture is from when she first came home, just a wee little rat. :-)
Now she is reunited with her siblings, Ophelia and Sid, and all my other rats that have gone before her.
I love you Pocky and will miss you so much!
