Lost a pet today.

I know it may seem trivial to most, but I lost one of my rats this morning. I was talking to her when she died. I knew she wasn't feeling good by the way she was acting yesterday. This morning she went into spasms and died.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a DUI, hopefully people can learn from my poor judgement and make wise decisions. After I lost my drivers license, I bought two rats. Sofie and Amelia. They have been wonderful company to me as I could not go out and do things.

Amelia died this morning and I gave her a proper burial in the back yard. I took a piece of sheet steel and engraved a marker for her.

She may just be a rat, but she was a companion and will be missed.

Pets of any kind become a part of the family. I understand your pain.

Sad to hear about your loss. Yes, doesn't matter what kind of pet, it was an important part of your life and a companion, and that hurts deep. Take care.

A rat's not really my cup of tea, but your pet is your pet, and they definitely can become like a family member. My condolences to you.

Losing ANY member of your family...whether blood or the furry kind is heart wrenching. I'm sorry for your loss.
