Today i did the unthinkable. i let my special little guy go... i hardly know where to begin. i'm in floods at the moment and can hardly see to type :-(

anyone who ever met mickey will know what a special, wonderful little guy he was... with his silly ears and his fluffy rexy whiskers - but most of all his perfect personality. he was just the perfect rat - my dream boy as it were. he won shows, with his stunning good looks... yet he won nothing more important than my heart. :-( he was the most wonderful, sweet, gentle little boy, and never once hinted at aggression or nerves. he's always been my pr rat. he used to meet and greet at shows, and everyone loved him - he even achieved a sort of fame.

to mickey:

when i took you from your 'breeder' with the intention of breeding from you, i knew i'd done the wrong thing - but when i saw you i couldn't turn you down - i just knew you'd never be breeding material. dare i say, you and your brother ross were the short sharp shocks i needed to see that i wanted to be a responsible breeder - and not just breed randomly. :-( you were the most amazing, licky little man, and you loved fuss and attention - but never craved it. you were always just there, waiting to be with me, but happy to be with ross if i was busy. :-( i've never had another rat like you, and i don't think i ever will. :-(

you took to edward like a duck to water when he lost his brother tubbs - and i only hope ross can find it in his heart to acept other boys, as i don't want him to be alone. he's going to miss you so much. you were the first to give tomago a cuddle, and it just proves that you never had a menacing bone in your body - you were the perfect alpha.

i remember when you were judged at cardiff 2005 - your first show. you were classed as 'underweight' :-( but you still got a second. i was over the moon, but worried about you being underweight. i found out how to feed you up, and did so. then your next show, you got best dumbo, and everyone thought you were wonderful! you've done sowell at shows, just proving how wonderful you were, but you didn't need to prove that to me, i knew already - and if you'd come last in everything, i would have loved you all the more.

i love you little man - don't ever forget that.

rip special special boy - and please, keep an eye on ross - keep him safe...

 

james taylor - you've got a friend

When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
