Genetics to knowledge: A/- dd rbrb (possibly carrying Mink, Chocolate and Dumbo)

I was really shocked to find Bea gone yesterday... she was still so fit and full of life such a short time ago. Seems like no time past that I was showing her to some people visiting the rats to explain a velvet coat. Bea was a squawky old thing! People knew her as the rat that got *really* annoyed if we picked her up most of the time! There was no nastiness in it, ever, but she really would rather you buggered off and left her alone! She was a really quirky little soul - her and her sister Valarie both. Valarie I know will be missing her, the two were like peas in a pod, and extremely close to each other.

I think poor Bea had the startings of a PT, and then had a stroke last night which is what killed her :( when we found her she was lying on her side in a coma, so we kept her warm and comfortable and she slowly slipped away.

She was such a beautiful girl - everyone always commented on her stunning coat and colour - and her bright boot button eyes :) she was just gorgeous. Thank you to Shelley for letting her and her sister come to us - I know we bred their parents, but they were very much your guys <3

Run free lovely lady...

Roy Orbison - Crying

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Aww you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been crying over you, crying over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying crying
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do
For you don't love me and I'll always be

Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah crying, crying, over you

xx
