It's always inexpressibly harsh trying to deal with the loss of a beloved family member. I have pet rats who only live 3-4 years, but it's still like a gut punch every time one of them dies. Remember the good times. The joy they brought you. In my household we have a tradition where we like to celebrate and remember each lost loved one on their birthday each year, which really helps as the feelings of love they brought us when alive never really goes away. If that's a bit much, you can always do it once for all your lost ones, once a year. I recommend Dia De Los Muertos (the Mexican Day of the Dead), but you do you.

Take care.

The joy they brought you can live in your memories forever. ❤️

I always find it funny watching my rats stash a bunch of treats, in a place the others will clearly find them, only to have one of their mischief come along and steal them all... just to stash them somewhere else and continue the cycle.

If my rats have taught me anything, its:
ENJOY LIFE'S TREATS ***NOW***.
