Goodbye May Seem Forever

At 12:30pm, 26th March 2013, Zoe, my beloved albino passed away.



I am a pet rat owner, and for those whom own rats too, would understand my pain I am feeling right now. For others who dislike them, maybe not, but even then, as a animal lover, maybe you could take into some understanding.

I own a English Minks, female, named Heather. She had a sister, Zoe, a albino. Whom, from the day we got her home, was very poorly in health. She seemed healthy in store, but after a month or so with us, she began to deteriorate.

We cherish our animals, and despite her being so young, took her to the vet immediately to check her over and see what the cause was. They could find no breathing issues, but believed it to be heart disease. Sadly, not much can be done beside give her the best life we could for now.

So.. We did.

Since, I have been crying at intervals whenever I remember that .. Heather no longer has her sister anymore, and I will no longer feed dear Zoe her favourite treat of porridge, and bananas, and whenever I make food now for myself, I wont have my dear sweety to share it with.

She'd also always paw at my nose whenever I tried giving her kisses because she didn't want em.

I can't help but feel such strong pain at her loss. I knew her for only 8 months, but for a pet lover, it seems like eternity. I wished so strong she could live forever, healthy as can be by my side. But.. life is not fair sometimes. And she did not deserve to be sick ... and did not deserve to pass away. She had a loving home, a sister to care for her, and me, her mummy, to cuddle her when she wanted attention - she always gave me kisses when I sat with her for ages too.

So in dedication to Zoe, and her passing, I commemorate this song to her. To represent the time we knew each other, and the bond we shared.

I hope now, at least, you will be in no more pain.

I owned three rats. You

I owned three rats. You never have enough time with them.

Losing any pet is never easy. You never have enough time with any of them, either.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about this.

So sorry to hear about this. Losing any pet is losing a member of the family, nothing prepares one for that.

Hearts out to you and your beloved rat~ <3
