When I saw 'Ophelia' in the memorial section I was hoping with all I have that it wasn't your little girl.

I'm so sorry, Courtney. It's horrid that rats are so besieged by tumours. She was an absolutely adorable little thing and her pictures always made me smile, I just regret that I haven't been around much the past year or so as I've probably missed a heap of them.

She lived a wonderful life with you. When you said 'No matter what, she still had the will to live', that totally reminded me of Tia. For such little creatures, rats are incredibly powerful, both physically and emotionally in my opinion. They just never give up being there for you, right up to the end.

Rest in peace sweet rattie girl, you'll be missed.
