my Babyrat has a tumor.  matter of time and all.  it's funny---intellectually, i can accept the fact of a rat's short life.  i've been a rat mommy since i was a little girl.  lots of Babyrats over the years.  but it's still hard.  she's my Babyrat.  she's furry and sweet.  and her lifetime is almost spent.

from now on she gets all the damned cookies she wants.
