I am just reading this for the first time. How awful, I am so sorry!!! Please don't give up yet, he may just be having a good time somewhere and not quite ready to come home!!!

I'm so sorry you lost your favorite Rattie too, you poor thing!
Seems when it rains, it pours. Please know we all here at PT love and care for you, and you are in our prayers.
