cw pet death under the cut
Well, I guess I largely vanished for the past couple of days for some people. We unexpectedly lost two of our ratties, one of which was one I had a close bond with, so that sure knocked me out for a day. I've been taking care of one of our little old ladies, Sammy, and we expected she would leave us fairly soon, but we lost Willow and Abbie within just a couple of days of each other instead.
Have some cute photos of baby abbie and willow since they were Very Loved and had happy lives.
Baby Abbie! When we saw how tiny she was (stunted growth, runt) and her little broken tail we had to take her home with us... somehow, miraculously, she could still move the whole tail! It's a mystery how it broke in the first place, and no one knew when we got her. We never had it amputated since it wasn't causing her any distress, and it just over time came to look like a little pikachu tail to us. She was my little heart rat and was glued to me near constantly.
all growed up button:
"FOUL TARNISHED...."
And baby Willow!!
So cute in her pot pie
the incredibly sweet /sadcute photos of her mommy, Bonnie (still with us!) protecting her the day we adopted them. They were adopted together due to their previous owners having to move and not being able to keep them. Bonnie was convinced we were going to steal her baby, so she kept sitting on her like this:
Willow was curious and wanted to make friends faster than Bonnie wanted, but Bonnie warmed up and finally stopped guarding so heavily. Part of her warming up included her adopting me, so uh... rat mom? She treats me like a baby rat. Mom, I'm a full grown Rat, thank you.
Willow was ***fascinated*** sitting and watching Resident Evil 4. She sat through the whole game and any time a loud noise would happen she'd ZOOP back into a sleeve...then poke back out, ears perked and whiskers going. She did the same thing last christmas when we opened presents, so RE4 gets called "CHRISTMAS 4" in our house.
also to the other ratty keepers out there, don't worry, the little cage is only a nursery/hospital cage and playtime cage, they lived in a giant critter nation with lots of friends.
Anyway, I'm a little sad still so I wanted to share some cute photos and celebrate them instead. We're probably going to be looking around at the local breeders to see if anyone has any baby girls ready for adoption.
#photos#rats#cw: death#cw: pet death#cute photos and cute comments under the cut though#since this is to celebrate them#my sweet little ratties#it's part of owning little animals with short lifespans#the joy they give outweighs the pain of losing them to me at least#and I always look forward to getting to spoil a new generation when one generation leaves#we still have bonnie / lei lei / sammy / wednesday / gizmo and coco#we had eight total in our mischief before#so I suppose we might be looking at getting two or more new little ones#depending on what the local area has and if there are already bonded siblings#willow and abbie both named after two of the soli characters#in our house we have a little headcanon that when they leave they go to a little rattie afterlife train station#so we were saying abbie had to go pick willow up at the station
