Forevermybabies Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 My 9 year old niece lost her beloved rat, Tiptoe to pneumonia. Tiptoe was truly one of the nicest little creatures. He loved a good scritch and taught me a lot about rats. Emma, my niece, was passionate about her rat. She taught him tricks, posed him for pictures, brought him with her places. Tiptoe will be missed. Please think of my niece as she goes through this loss. Quote Tami, Nikki & Gypsy (non-greyhounds, but still pretty good dogs.)

Guest hamiesmom Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 So, sorry to hear about little Tiptoe. I can understand how she feels. My nephew had two rats and they were the sweetest little creatures and just loved to get scritches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forevermybabies Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Thank you. I'm going to print this out to give to her. We're going to make a nice urn for Tiptoe. Here's the announcement that my sister sent out: Our beloved rat Tiptoe passed away this evening due to pneumonia. Tiptoe was preceded in his journey to heaven by Ariel the fish. He was survived by his adoring mom, Emma, his doting aunt, Lauren, his loving brother Timothy, grandparents Kevin & Lynn and many other friends and relatives. Funeral or memorial service notice to come. Quote Tami, Nikki & Gypsy (non-greyhounds, but still pretty good dogs.)

Guest auntiesara Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) I 'm sorry I missed this when it was first posted. Years ago Charlie adopted his white Laboratory Rat from Psych class. His name was Ratty(how original!). The odd thing was that he and all the others for that class were born on my birthday. He didn't live as long as Tiptoe, but he was very smart and affectionate. He loved to tunnel under the covers and nip my toe and stole things of our plate at dinner. I'm sure Emma has wonderful memories of Tiptoe. Tell her I know there is a place for rats to play at the Bridge and she WILL see him again....
