Hrmm Leah, I'm not sure if you know this, but you're talking about a rat.

Doh sorry

Make some good out of it! Skin it, throw some tobasco on the son bitch, and fry it!

Much the same will probably be said when you die.

yeah, that sucks. that is one reason why i haven't had a pet for a couple decades now, too hard when they die.

sorry for that.

I had two rats, topogigo and isis. Fucking things lived for like five years.

Sorry about your loss.

Have a true memorial service.

Go and see Ratatouille in honor of her memory.

alex says that we should have a good old-fashioned irish-style wake and get hammered whilst remembering the good times. tempting.

Kramer · Post by **Kramer** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 1:54 pm

sounds good to me, but i would go russian-style and throw down good qulity ice-cold vodka!

I assume Josh is raiding in WoW to get over it?

Sorry to hear that you have a rat infestation at your place...

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 2:31 pm

I don't care what anyone says. Rats are badass pets.

Sorry Leah. Funny how attached you can get to animals. I remember being heart broken when my hamsters would die growing up.

actually, he held her for five hours straight the night before she died and was with her until the very end, and when she passed, he wrapped her in a little towel in put her in a little box. he did a very good job handling things, since i was in colorado on vacation with the fam. i'm really glad he was there and i'm impressed and comforted by how gentle and caring he's been.

Five hours eh?

Well, I drove into town and held it for 10 hours before instructing Josh on how to handle things.

By "held her" does that mean the rat was lying wheezing on his computer desk while he was in a raid?
