Nightjar, he died some time back, all that crew is gone, and still most missed. Giles died peacefully of old age, set in his solitary ways until the end. He didn’t make 3 years, but he was a bit over 2.5. Giles loved getting his hands on spaghetti noodles always, remained one of his most favourite things.

Thank you, that was what I was expecting to hear, I just didn’t know if he had died of old age or not. I imagined the whole crew would be gone by now, that was many years ago. Must have been difficult times for you, watching them all get old and having to say goodbye, one after the other. But I’m glad you still have all these memories of them and keep on posting their photos. I always look forward to your Raturdays!
Yeah, it was tough with that crew in particular. Pearl ended up outliving all her sibs, and I suppose in a way that was fitting, because she never did like being around anyone else. All of them though, good memories all the way through. :D
Some rats like beer, too. I don’t let them have any, or at least not intentionally. Ash used to raid Rick’s beer when we took a lav break watching movies. Rats can’t burp or vomit.
Ice Swimmer says
Premium box for discerning rats.
Caine says
They do like beer boxes. And any other kind of box.

Caine… there is something I have often wondered but never got around to ask you… what happened to Giles?
