Zim you and I made some pretty good memories, I would be studying and you'd sneak up and take my homework into your mouth and then run off and eat the corners off. I could then literally say My rat ate my homework. Then there were all those baths you hated, your first tim in a bath tub and you climbed up my bare arms just to escape. ^^ Those nice cuddles we ued to have, and it always made me sooo happy when you climb up on my shoulder and kiss my cheeks.
About seven months ago it started, you began to start gasping for air which scared me the vet diagnosed you with pneumonia and even after and that Baytril and Doxycycline it didn't seem to stop. Then you last week with me. I knew I didn't have my time left with you, your sides had sunken in, you breathing scared me and it was only a matter of time. That week I shoved in all things we never got to do, I took you outside for your first time, I fed you a real human dinner you loved those mashed potatoes, we played in the hallway together, and you guys slept ion my bed with me.
Then yesterday I went to go see you while I got my bathing suite for swimming, you seemed all right, I'd be back later to check up on you, then quite a few hours late my dad says Bri we have to go to your moms. Even after than sentence I already knew what had happened but I pretended that wasn't it perhaps my just wanted to see me before she left to work...no. In the parking lot I stood and cried soo hard I didn't want to believe it. I waled up to my room I picked you up, savoured the last time I would ever get to hold you and placed you into the box, with a toy from your cage. And that was it.
I love you soo much I miss those cute chimp-like noises you'd make, thosde noises that gave you your nickname, and the passed 12 hours I've spent crying was me remembering all the good times we've had and the amazing rat you were and still are. Now Rest In Peace my sweet little monkey. smile I love you buddy.
