R.I.P. Lola Beans
Lola was my first rat, I got her about two and a half years ago, as soon as I held her in my hands, and she was calm as a cucumber I knew she was the one for me. As I driving home excited to make friends with my new rat, I was trying to come up with a name for her, just as I was about to give up, Lola by the Kinks came on, and that was that, Lola would be her name, Beans or beanies came afterwards, it just popped out of my mouth and I thought it was cute so it stuck. Lola was the best rat anybody could ask for, sweet, curious, and cuddly. I even eventually trained her to give me kisses when asked. She was also a huge dork, Lola loved to jump onto things, especially plastic bags, the look in her eyes was priceless, they looked up at me as to say, “let’s do that again, ” and surely enough when I’d put her on my shoulders, she would repeat the crazy jumping onto the bags. A year after I got Lola, I found another rat, who I couldn’t leave, so I got her, knowing it be trouble introducing the two, I had fears that something would go wrong, a few tiffs here and there, Lola and Ella eventually became friends, however as natural to anybody living with a room mate they had their share of fights.. Sadly Lola passed away on March 10th, almost two months since the passing of my cat. She had been struggling with her back legs for almost half a year, she was always a tough butt, never giving up, and she was like that till her last breath…. A sadness fills me whenever i look at her cage and i don’t see her jump up to greet me, i have Ella still, but i can tell she misses Lola just as much as i do, i wish i could just get her to understand that everything is fine, and that she still has me, but i can’t to the point where she would understand….
I love you Lola beans, and hopefully your with Lucky and I will see you both again someday.
