I wanted to have a nice group photo of all my rats, I guess I wanted too much. Turns out it's impossible to take a decent picture of 7 rats at once. They won't stand still even for a moment.
Okay let's make some weirdass playlist, here we go. Trying not to repeat bands, these aren't my Favorite songs & not every band I listen to, but they're all songs I listen to frequently. I dare you to make a playlist & experience... what I listen to in the car.

I will miss this maniac so much. In the end she had dementia, arthritis and was deaf. It was difficult when her legs were going from under her but the dementia was a nightmare for her. On Friday it was clear she was no longer living her life, she was just existing from day to day. A very difficult wee dog, I always had to be on the ball or she attacked other animals, never off lead outside. My best friend and I know I gave her a better life than the one she had before I rescued her, 1/3 of her life I gave her everything I could.
On Friday evening we went to the vet and I was kissing her nose and looking into her eyes, my face was the last thing she saw. Her eyes glazed and I saw life leave her. I'm stuck right now between grief, being lost without the routine we had and relief that she will have no more pain.
Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes and everyone that commented on my post about my cat.
Trigger Warning: Mention of Death
We ended up putting her down this morning. Didn't want to do it on my birthday I was a little selfish for that. She went peacefully and she was really ready to go. 16 years old is quite a long time for a cat. I miss her terribly but I know it was the right thing to do.
Rest in Paradise my sweet girl <3 You deserve all the tuna, salmon and treats in the fields of the Rainbow Bridge. You know have joined Misty (Dog), Chloe (Dog), Friskie (Cat), Tigger (Cat), Buddy (Cat), Bandit (Bird) and Holly (Dog).
We made him a birthday tortilla wrap. Overall, he was not impressed. He rated the sauce (Greek yogurt) 8/10, but everything else is 4/10. "Too green," he said, "can't you see I'm starving here."
His brother would've appreciate the green part.
Bergamot also got a cat rat tree, which he isn't too happy about either. He'd rather stay in a cage, sleeping or squabbling with his frenemy Plyam. But here I am, giving him underwhelming treats and encouraging him to move once in a while, that's just animal cruelty.
