My rat rocky died today after 5 years living with me. He had to be put down because he was so sick. He couldn't use his back legs. It was really hard to personally walk in to the Animal Services and have him be uthenized but it was best for him. I cried really hard. My dad had him in a box when I got back from the movies. He didn't deserve to die. I got him when I was 7 but couldn't hold him because his claws would hurt my skin. In his last 2 years of life, I became really attached to him. He stopped biting. I really wish I could just start over with him and give him the best time he could have. I wish I could have done something. R.I.P Rocky
What a happy and sad story at the same time.. try thinking about all the good times and what you did was the right thing, i'm sure. And you sound like a really nice person, good luck.
It's not often that Morv doesn't dedicate his whole post to some sarcastic slur. R.I.P. rocky. I should probably start paying more attention to my dog while I still can...
my dog was recently put down about 3 weeks ago. My house is completely different without her around. I know what your goin through man. RIP rockey, you'll get through it too.
Always a painfull time in any pet owners life. Fortunatly time heals all, you wont forget him but the pain will subside.
