Poor Yzma
My rat Yzma died today - she hadn't been doing good for the last couple of months. She was 4, maybe a few months older, which is old for a rat. I just hope she enjoyed the last year & a half with me as she did with the previous owners. When she was with them she was beating up her cage-mate so if they couldn't find someone to take her they were going to have her put to sleep because they couldn't be left together anymore. So I guess I gave her another year & a half of life. But then again, she was originally a feeder rat so she got about 3 1/2 - 4 more years of life then she normally would have had. This isn't the first pet I've lost, but it still makes me sad.
