Aedan 24/03/2006 - 21/07/2008

Today I lost the last of my first male group, my very special darling: Aedan.

It feels like the end of an era, although I have a new male group now.

Aedie came home with me on the same day as Laviv&Amice, but I already chose him when he was only 3 days old. He was such a beautiful baby, so chubby and cute. When he got older he stayed just as pretty, he never changed one bit.
I loved his colors, but most importantly his behavior. I fell in love with his mom, and I think he looked a lot like her. Both sweet, lovable rats with a big heart and not one bit of bad behavior in them.

I never noticed him getting older, although it wasn't easy for him to loose his best friend Amice. He got a bit grumpy, but that's normal when you loose someone you love very much.
Only 1,5 wk ago he started getting some problems with his backpaws, but that didn't stop him from doing anything.

This morning I took him with me to have breakfast, we cuddled a bit and I talked to him..we had fun. He always made me happy, I could be crying one minute but when I saw his beautiful face I couldn't help but smile.

But tonight he was gone, I'm still heartbroken about it

I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

Kansas - Dust in the wind.



Bye hun, send my love to the other ones on the bridge!

So sorry. That was a beautiful testimony.

You know I recently had another mass burial. The freezer has more room now. I've reached the point where I feel they are all on loan and every day is a bonus. They are ephemeral, and that is how it is. One poster once called them "furry flowers".

LJ, you write in such a heartfelt way about your furries, whether it be happy or sad news. Alas, this time it's sad news. Rest in peace, Aedan, and hugs to you, LJ, at this difficult time. *hugs*

Dust in the Wind--that song moved me years ago, and it moves me now.

I just came in from looking at Fuzz and Pinky's resting place, as I often do. They too--dust in the wind.

Aw, I'm so sorry about Aedan. May he rest in peace, he was a beautiful rat. *hugs*

All pets do it, but none seem to do it like rats!!

Oh, lordie. That turned me into a blubbering mess!

I'm so sorry about your handsome boy, LJ.

Well, today Ebony died. It was not unexpected. Her sister, Ivory, remains.

I kept the entire surprise litters of both their moms, Moet and Chandon, and they were adopted out (Ebony and Ivory), but for reasons described I had to one day go a long distance to pick them up and bring them home. Ivory is in the cage I got with them. They were born almost two years ago.

I will post a separate thread, with links, about this in he Memorial section soon.



She would have been two in November.
