Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

She’s no longer with us but this is Martha the Rat, asleep in my pocket and cuddling my hand. I miss her! (beehaw.org)

What an absolute cutie! I'm sure you gave her an amazing life! I lost a pet a bit over a year ago and it affected me a lot, but I discovered I found great peace in knowing I gave him the best life I possibly could and made his time here wonderful. I'm sure you did the same for Martha ♥

Thank you. We certainly tried to. She passed away a few years ago. Now we just try to remember how wonderful she was and not be sad about not having her around anymore. Same with her cagemates. I’ll probably post some pictures of them at some point too. We no longer have rats but they are amazing pets and I certainly miss having them around. I’m sorry to hear about your pet too! It can take a while when they are such good buddies. I’m glad you understand that you gave him a wonderful life and can take solace from that!
