I got Minnow and 4 other rats from a lady who was moving out of state. Her and her friend Lady were best pals, but sadly Lady passed away about a year ago. Minnow's last friend was Rosalie, they took several months to be able to live in semi-peace together (mainly due to Rosalie) but they became friends. Minnow was very tolerant of Rosalie's obnoxious ways, from her stealing food to pinning her all the time. Minnow was a happy strong girl and always took time for scritches.
She developed a tumor on her side almost a year ago which could not be removed due to her lungs and age. She dragged that tumor around until the very end, even when it got larger than her. I fought myself trying to decide whether to put her to sleep or not, she was so happy but that tumor upset me when I saw her dragging it. In the end I decided against it. She lost her battle early this morning. Minnow caught the heart of many non-rat lovers (or moreso people who did not know they liked rats).
I'll miss you my sweet girl. Rest easy. :heart: :sad3: :heart:
