<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>If that means you had to have something put down, I am sorry, the last two I had, I did it myself, quick painless and big enough gun so they would not suffer any more...sorry for your loss.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Jesus, a vet doesnt charge that much. Have a little too much desire to play with guns, there hoss?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>No, but I cared for them, I loved them, and I took their life in the end and then I buried them on my land and cried...I made sure they did not suffer when it was done...all of it was very fast. And for your info, I am a hunter, I belong to 2 different Gun clubs, and am a excellent sniper.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>The first rat died about 2-3 months ago. Same problem. I opted to cancel out of the vet trip, since I thought he was going to die soon, anyway. But, he just sat there in his "death bed" I created for him, and every time I passed that room, he was still breathing and slowly going cold. That smell of death just lingering. I think he took several days to die. I felt real guilty about that.

I'm going to try to take my rat to the vet today.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Rats from breeders are generally healthier as well. Not many breeders in KY. I dont think we're getting rats again though, they dont live long enough.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I had a dog that I got when I was 9. Later when my mom sorta kicked me out and I moved in with my dad at age 21, Taffy(my dog) stayed with her. She went blind and was put to sleep without me being there. I still regret that.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Being an only child, Taffy was one of the few things that kept me going thru tough times. When my parents divorced, I hated them, and had no friends in a new town. She wasnt just a dog, she seemed like she was half human.

Ive always had a dog. After she died, and I was living on my own, a friend gave me a dog she was trying to get rid of because he was too feisty. I kept him for a while, but it was hard taking care of a dog when you live by yourself in an apt. SO I left him with my mom who lives in the country now, and they fell in love with him. He got hit by a car last year.

I really miss having a dog, but we rent a house right now, and cant have one. Our lease is up in September, and we're going to try and buy a house. Ill be at the Humane Society the day after we move in :)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that's what my friend's rats have pretty much looked like.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Man, that brings back memories of when he was a little rat with big ears and he didn't even know if he was going to grow that fur or become hairless.</div>
