No updates for the past few days because I've... yeah. Well. Long story short: On Tuesday, I had to have one of my rats, Yuki, put down. See, she was the first rat I ever got. She's the first pet I've ever had die. She had a huge mammary tumor on her foreleg, was over 2 years old (which is the average lifespan for a rat), was blind in one eye, and her back legs were no longer working very well.
So while I think it was probably the right thing to do, seeing as she couldn't have been very comfortable, it still hurts like fuck.
I don't want sympathy, I want my Yuki back, and I want her healthy again.

Even if you don't want sympathy, you have mine. One of my best friends lost both her pet rats within a few months of each other, and she really mourned them. They're sweet animals. Take good care of yourself.
Thanks... I suppose it's hard for me mostly because I actually watched them euthanise her, in addition to her being the first pet I've ever had die. I'll be fine, it's just these first few days after that are hard to deal with...
