Much the same will probably be said when you die.

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.

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?
