Oscar was my special boy - we're not meant to have favourites among our children, be they human or animal, but Oscar was a very special rat to me, and as guilty as it made me feel, he was always my favourite. I have never known an animal with more personality, who was so friendly and gentle, who seemed so capable of compassion and empathy.
Oscar spent his life convinced he was still a kitten, and even in his old age insisted on popcorning and bruxing, playing and boggling, bouncing around like an eeper and generally being joyful. He learned to open his cage door, just to sit in the open doorway ready to give me a heart attack when I entered the room. He was a pet, some may say he was 'just an animal' but to me he was a true friend.
I am glad that I could do him the service of being with him as he died, even if I will always feel that I could have done better for him in his life. He went in the most dignified way, in my arms, and didn't fight; it was simply his time to go. I feel privileged to have had him in my life, and blessed to have been able to provide this one last comfort. He died knowing he was loved, and that is all I can ask for.
Rest in peace, Oscar. Have fun at the Bridge.

Tiny Paw Prints
♥These are my tiny paw prints, so perfect and so small.
These tiny little paw prints, no longer touch the ground at all.♥
♥Not one tiny paw print, for now I have my wings.
These tiny little paw prints are now meant for other things.♥
♥You will hear my tiny paw prints, in the patter of the rain
Gentle drops like angel tears, of joy and not from pain.♥
♥You will see my tiny paw prints, in each butterfly's lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you, if you give me just a chance.♥
♥You will see my tiny paw prints, in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind, and call each one that grieves.♥
♥Most of all, these tiny paw prints, are found within your heart
Because even though I'm gone, we'll never truly part♥
Have fun up in the heavs above.
Playing free and lighting up the sky with love.
Run through forests and swin through streams
Send love on a daily basis
In the form of an unexplained feeling or thing
To remind me that you will always come by to see me.
R.I.P Oscar.
Play free so sorry for your loss he was beautifull and sounded a real charecter!!!
Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.
