A Tough Day as a Parent...

I got downstairs in my office today and found my son's pet rat Merrill, shall we say, asleep for good... I realized it after I ate my breakfast and the little bugger did not come out to beg me for a bite. The saddest part is that Noah does not know it and will be home from school in a couple of hours. The funny thing is that I kinda miss it constantly begging and running around in its cage just to the left of my desk. I did some quick research and found a certified rat breeder here in Fremont, with some cute possibilities to replace our departed pet. This will be the first pet that Noah has "Lost" so I know it will be hard on him.
