In Memoriam: Sugar

We lost one of the girls rats today :( Jane found her dead in her cage, no clear reason why she suddenly died. Everyone is sad, she was such a cutie. The girls made her a small box and buried her under a pile of sticks and rocks, since the earth still turned out to be too frozen to dig into. I asked whether they wanted to cremate her, which we did with Cees's parakeets, but they preferred a burial. I guess she is in a kind of winter crypt now.

You will be missed, little one.

Oh, I am so sorry. How sad.

It is so hard to lose a pet.
