Waffle died. He'd been sick for awhile now. Dropped weight all of a sudden and no matter what I did for him, wouldn't put it back on. The vets around here pretty much suck for rat care, so I tend to have to deal with these things myself. He ate and he drank, but nothing reall changed. I held him this morning and he was even thinner, so I have him some cat food. When I went to check on the monsters just a few moments ago, he was curled up like he was sleeping and his head was propped up, as if he'd been leaning against one of the other rats when he passed. I'm positive he went in his sleep. I know rats usually go through the death throwes, but he was just peacefully curled up how he sleeps and completely stiff.

And, I know I didn't mention it, but Mallow died earlier last week. He was super old, however, so we were expecting it.

Regardless, it's unfortunate, but it happens. It's not like I post these little tidbits to garner sympathy, it's mostly for my own forgetful brain. XD

Everyone else is doing well, though! Harper is still old as hell (almost three now?) and Pamcake has gotten FAT.
