Leia,
one of two ratties Kristy & I got over three years ago, died on Tuesday. She had lived extremely long for a rat, and though a bit loopy from a recent stroke, she was still a sweetie. Specifically, apparently her mobility functions had become scrambled such that she could only turn right and moved forward by rotating in a corkscrew fashion. It was very concerning to see but she didn't appear to be in pain and didn't let her disability stop her from going about her rat business, she was a little trooper.
