Genetics to knowledge: Aa dd rbrb (possibly carrying Mink, Siamese, Dumbo and Mock Mink)

My gorgeous chunky boy has gone to be with his brother Troll at the bridge... obviously missed him a huge amount :*( he's not been nearly so forward and cuddly since Troll died... and now I know why :*(

SNAFU was always a gorgeous lad - he had the most attractive face - so much like a teddy bear. He was such a beautiful boy - to me anyway - he never did particularly well at shows, but then, not too badly either I suppose :*) Snaffy was such a gentle lad - known for his soft temperament and lickiness... I'll never forget Siobhan giving him a pet award for 'Alec Baldwin Rat' - I asked her why... because he was sexy, but more than a bit porky! And I'm pretty sure, despite us trying to cut his weight down, that that is what finished him off.

He was a massive rat - really rather overweight - but he never seemed unhealthy with it - just large. He was always so active and bouncy too. I suppose, despite feeling bad about it - because to me he still feels like a baby - 21 months isn't so bad for a very overweight Silver Agouti. He was very like his dad too - same lovely nature. He was just so special to me... :*( I'll miss him so much... he was a bit of a special one (they all are - but SNAFU was just... I can't describe...).

I'm lost for words on this obituary... I really feel like a fish out of water, I feel like I'm not giving him the send off he deserves, but I just don't know how to describe how much I'll miss him.

Run free my amazing lad... I'm going to miss you more than words can describe... go and find Troll, and give him my cuddles...
