Guest greybookends Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Last night DD had to say goodbye to her pet rat Alfred. He was 3 or 4 I think and they believe he had a stroke. Alfred was purchased as snake food by one of her college friends. When placed in the snakes aquarium he promptly beat the crap out of the snake. Cassie rescued him when the friend decided to just put him in a box and leave him here. She named him Alfed the Ninja Rat. He has lead a life of rat luxery ever since. Farewell Alfred. RIP.

Guest greys4me Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thank you for all your condolences about loosing Alfred. He was a very sweet rat. He didn't even bite, not even when one of my friend's 3 year old son would pick him up by the tail. I just wish he had been able to go with a little bit more dignity, especially after the tough fight he put up just to live in the first place. I will miss him very much. Farewell sweet Alfred.
