Xochiquetzal or "Xochi" is the rat that stole my heart. I was never the same after he became my best friend, and I was again changed forever when he left. He was the first rat I was ever able to call my baby, and his life has kept me going through more trials than I thought a little ball of fuzz could. Even now, he keeps me going. It didn't feel right to add my babies here without first adding him. Goodnight, Xoch-meister.
