Jack: August 29th 2005 - 15 January 2008
We bought Jack and his brother, Monty, when he was a month old. A few days after picking him up we realised that he was poorly his chest was crackly and he was very drowsy, we took him to the vets and although he gave us antibiotics he did not give much hope of survival at all.
But Jack was a fighter and although he hardly grew and spent much of his life taking medication he was a lovely, fun and friendly rat, who climbed the side of the cage as soon as we came in from work and spent most evenings out with us.
He fought very hard to stay with us but 2 days ago he became ill again and this time he could not fight it. He died peacefully in our arms tonight.
Thank you for the last 16 months Jack. We will miss you and so will your brothers Monty the rat and Shado the guinea pig.
Say hello to Rusty, Smudge and Stig for us.
Sleep well. Mummy and Daddy xxx
