ratties :(
Mr B died :(
I had him for nearly 2 years, and he was grown when I got him, so I never actually expected to have him this long. He may have been a biter, but he could also be really sweet; as long as he was handled properly he was a real darling.
Had almost forgotten his 'real' name was Blackie. Don't think I have called him that since his first or second week home. For some reason thought of it just now. Probably because I was trying to remember when I got him.
PS. Speaking of ratties going by the wrong name - realized today that Mr C (for Cerebus) is actually Maximus and that it was Cerebus who died last year (near identical brothers). Max was the one with less white on his belly, and I was looking at 'Mr C' today and realized his belly is almost all black. oops. now the question is: do I continue to call him Cerebus even though that's his brother or do I go back to calling him Maximus even though he hasn't been called that in a year?
