Thread: A sad day :-(

Early this morning I lost Smudge, my rat, who was 3 years, 7 months, 1 week and 5 days old (yes, I counted).

She had a mild stroke and then, whilst I was holding her, she had a massive stroke and died in my arms.

I will miss her terribly and Moshi seems to be just as upset. I've had to move Smudge's cage as she keeps sitting by it and miaowing very softly, which is heartbreaking to hear

Even though I've moved the cage, she still keeps coming up to me and looking at me with that "what happened" face. They were, strangley enough, good friends.

Thankfully, Smudge is now with her sister Pepper the otherside of the rainbow and I know they'll be having a great time.

RIP Smudge, my little furry princess xxx
