And then there was one ... rat that is ...

Today we buried Teddy the rat. It was a pretty sad day for Abbie and I think that she is going to be a little broken hearted for a while. Teddy was a good pet and now Rosie is all alone and seems a bit lost. We have flushed a few fish but this is the first "real" pet that we have had to bury which is made a little more difficult because these rats are truly Abbie's and she loves them a lot (so much so that she requested them on her birthday cake). Any advice on how to make this childhood rite of passage easier on her would be greatly appreciated.

Goodbye Teddy ... you will be missed...
