Cecil was put to sleep this morning. It was very peaceful; he seemed to be not more than semi-conscious anyway. As always, I'm a wreck but that's what happens when you bond with an animal. One agrees to pay that price when one receives a baby 6-week-old rat, along with his already bigger brother.

He was the best little rat, got along with all the other rats and people he ever met. I've a post about him, sometime earlier in this journal.

I've opened up the Ferret Kingdom again since I don't want Charles Wallace alone. He's stronger than Cecil was, particularly since he started on his new medication, though still quite unwell, and I hope he can manage with the boofheads, who surged back in and ate everything I had put out for the patients. It makes me think of a football team visiting their team-mate in hospital and eating his grapes and chocolates.

CW is sleeping and everybody else will get turfed out to the couch when it's his mealtime. Rat company is more important than the human's convenience. If all six of them prove to be too much, then I will single somebody out to stay with CW.
