Genetics to knowledge: aa Dd rbrb (possibly carrying Mink, Siamese, Chocolate and Ruby Eye)

Another of Birdie's ill fated babies taken too young :*( We now know that it was CK that got to them all... which is some minor comfort, at least it's not anything terribly genetic perse.

Webb was a fabulous lad - licky in the extreme - he was so cuddly and would run up your arms licking as he went. He was a darling boy, very gentle, and very quiet, never one to get in the way, fuss or bother anyone. There's really not much to say about him... he was like his lovely brother Sid who we lost last year... just a constant source of cuddles and affection.

We never bred from any of the litter of course, which in a way makes me sad, as we don't really have too much to remember them by... but we will always have their memories here.

I'm a bit numb to be honest :( I knew it was coming, but it's still upset me rather a lot... and I don't know what to say :*( It's been a hard winter for the ratties, with it being so cold - they have all fared so well, but Webb was so tiny and light... :(

Run free beautiful boy - you will always be missed and remembered... free to run with lovely Sid now... :( go and find your family.

Young At Heart - Frank Sinatra:

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of
mind
If you’re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the
seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing
day
And love is either in your heart or on it’s way

Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on
earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it’s much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
