Henry (? - March 8, 2008)
Henry was a blue self standard dumbo buck.
On the evening of March 8, 2008 when I went to feed the boys before I went to bed, like I do every day, I found Henry laying next to the hideaway hut, when I went to move him out of the cage he was so cold and stiff, his eyes peacefully closed. This hit me so hard, so unexpected. To this day I still think I’m going to see him in the cage when I go to talk to Griffin.
Henry was one of the sweetest, cutest, nicest and most charming rats I’ve ever had the privelage to own and know. I know he has crossed the rainbow bridge and is now running and playing with all the ratties I’ve lost before him, Oreo, Houdidni, Carman and Pikki-Bikki. I know when the time is right, hopefully many years from now we will all meet again.
Last Saturday (March 22, 2008), I brought home the newest member of my “Rat Pack” another dumbo, but this time white with a black head and a white horizontal stripe down his face and a black spot on his back. His name still has not come to me.
I hope Henry is smiling down knowing that another nice rat has gotten a forever home.
