Vladina said:Aww, I am sure you do! Well the nice thing I like to think about when getting bummed about the short life span of rats is that to them, every minute or hour of happiness, food, love and joy probably feels like a long, long time to them, so you can tell yourself, "Lucky has been with us for years in ratty time so it probably does feel to him (and Moomoo!) like he has known happiness for a long time with us." That kind of viewpoint always makes me feel better.
Rats live for the here and now and make every second count. They live life to the fullest. A wise lesson for us humans to remember for ourselves too.
Our two rescue boys have been with us since they were babies so they probably think they have been with Mommy and Daddy for about 120 years.
Your right ..thank you for cheering me up.
Speaking of Moomoo. I have a video & pictures of him, which I will upload soon. <3
