I am a first time rat owner so I have never dealt with the loss of a rat until yesterday. I adopted two brothers from my breeder and then wanted another rat. She had a five month old rat available and the second I saw his picture, I knew he was meant to live with me. I went up to meet him and it was love at first sight. The second the breeder placed Socs in my arms, I knew he was coming home with me. From the first point I held him, I couldn't believe how friendly he was. The amount of kisses I got from him every time I held him was amazing. He was a very loving little man and lossing him suddenly has left a very big hole in my heart. I loved him so much and having to say goodbye to him has been so very difficult. All I can say now is I love you little man. You will forever and always hold a special place in my heart!
