Theo 6/7/2008 - 10/9/2010

Sad news: Theo, my senior rat, has just died. He had a heart condition but did very well nonetheless. He is mourned by nine ratty minions as well as by me.

The yawning rat icon isn't a picture of Theo but it could be; he looked just like this. I'm grateful that I had time to get home from Worldcon before he took his turn for the worse. My fellow rat-owners, who took care of him, were surprised to hear the news, saying he'd been reasonably okay while I was away. Rats like to keep people guessing.
