The other day our last pet rat died and I thought to myself, how is it that pet shops sell these cute little creatures to families, only that they should die in such a short two years. Can you imagine how a child feels when his/her pet rat dies. I'm an adult and I was saddened by the experience.
I didn't bring this pet into my home. My son and his ex girl friend brought two rats which I ended up adopting because they split up and he really didn't care for them anymore.
The rule in the house is "no more pets".
I'm down to an aquarium with two gold fish and a Chinese Algae eater. The oldest gold fish is about 8 years old and is no longer gold, having turned silver with age.
I'm getting gray with age!
