And I didn't forget you too Nash Nash.

I love you so much. I'm sorry we didn't get the time together that we should have, but you were called back early.

I'm sorry the vets failed you.

I hope you're with Chomb eating lots of Almonds together. ❤️

From the moment I saw you, I knew I had to keep you safe. I knew I had to look after you, and give you the life you deserve.

I hope I did right by you boys. I hope you know how much we love you.

Thank you for being in my life.
Thank you for helping me through the dark.

I miss you all so much.

Our tale began with four little lights

Together we've played through days and through nights.

But our pages grew short and now our storybook ends

So I need you to know you were all my best friends.

---

I'll never forget you Chombie, Sebby, Chappie and Ammy.

Your dads will always love you. ❤️

Amadeus passed away last night as I held him close.

I am so thankfulfor the wonderful 2y 11m that I got to look after him.

Rest well little one, you've earned it. X

I'm sorry little one. I tried everything I could. I was praying you'd respond to the meds, but I think it was just your time.

I know we didnt get to know each other for long. But I hope you felt loved, and cared for.

I'll love and miss you always Nashi.

He's an old man, but Chomb is still my baby.

He's starting to show signs of slowing down, so i'm trying to spend as much time as we have left together showing him how much I love him.

A white and brown hooded fancy rat pancaked inside a gray bonding pouch (which is lined with red fabric that has pink polka dots). The rat has his eyes almost closed, as he drifts off to dream of treats. A human hand is petting the rat on the head between his ears.

In more positive news, this little bean has calmed down a lot, and we're able to do snuggle pouch time!

I cherish every day I get with this little guy. Chomb is 2.5yo, so he's an old man; but he's such a loving cuddly baby when he wants to be. He gives me kisses and boggles like crazy when he gets pets (especially behind his ears!)

A huge shout out to this little gremlin for sleeping on a ledge like this and giving me a complete heart attack before I realised he was just snoozing.

This dumb-dumb and his gremlin of a little brother both decided to have a ball measuring contest in the night last week.

I know you're already blind Nashi, but you got very close to losing an eye you smooth-brained little potato.

A tawn coloured Fancy Rat. He has red eyes and is holding food. On his face beside his eye is a scab, indicating that he had been bitten.
