This year we have seen some wonderful rats come into our lives and some beloved older friends leave us. The end of the year always makes me happy and somehow deeply sad.

The current residents are healthy and happy for the most part. We are hoping everyday that Coco, who is still withy HVRR, manages to get healthy and is able to come live with friends again.
Its hard for such social creatures to be on their own for weeks at a time.

We lost Arden to a severe URI that just did not respond to meds. Its always hard to see them fight and struggle for every breath. She put up the good fight and will be remembered with love and a smile. Being blind never held her back and she was an amazing little rat.

My Fergus tattoo is three weeks old today and it looks wonderful!!!! I am so happy with it. I do know why I wait years between tattoos though LOL it hurt dangit!!!!! Either Im getting to be a wimp or that area of the leg is just crappy to tattoo-take your pick =D

As the next week winds the year down, we will see how things around her progress. I am hoping for a prosperous new year and lots of happy and healthy ratties, friends and family!!!

I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon, one that has been a long time coming. I am finally going to give Fergus his place of honor as a tattoo on my leg. My beautiful boy has been gone for almost 2 years and everyday he is thought of and missed.

There are moments in life that change us and knowing that; recognizing you have been through one of those is so important. The day I had my little man put to sleep was one of those and it broke my heart into tiny bits. The one thing it did give me is the desire to help ratkids in need.

I look forward to the irritation of having the tattoo done, of seeing his face and knowing that he will ALWAYS be there.
