Re: RIP - JoJo passed away last Thursday evening.
Thank for all your kind comments :) I'm late to respond since I tried to do many things but thinking to much about the rat (cleaning desk and whatever other boring stuff). I'm happy you like the picture. That's something I'm somewhat proud of, not the picture in itself (well, I bit to be honest) but the fact I'll keep such a beautiful image of her. Rats usually aren't exactly waiting for you to push the trigger =) BTW, the picture was taken with the Sigma 28/1.8. Good example of shallow DOF IMO. The second rat (Littl'Mary) is alive and well as she could though she has the same disease as Jojo, not yet developed enough for her to suffer much. We didn't get other ones because the disease our rats have/had will go to other rats quickly. I don't want that so we won't get other rats with Littl'Mary still with us (for a long time I hope). The disease is more or less like AIDS but for rats (on a consequences point of view: body immunity). I won't knowingly give this to other rats. Clearly when Littl'Mary will go, we will get other rats. It is too late now. We'll have to have rats =) Thanks to all, again.

Re: RIP - JoJo passed away last Thursday evening.
Sad, Thibs, I feel for you. But you had two rats when we visited you, right? What the other one is doing?

Re: RIP - JoJo passed away last Thursday evening.
So sorry Thibault, she was a beauty, too. Feel your pain even though I think 1.5 years isn't all that bad for a rat. They got the ex wife hooked ad subsequently me. Highest headcount during our time together was 23 which ultimately caused me to quit because so many of them came to us ill and I could no longer stand watching them wither away and having them put down, and being replaced right away (she was like I said literally hooked). Beautiful image, too, right beyond memento qualities Cheers Ecke 2010/1/25 Thibouille pentaxl...@gmail.com: She was more a cat than a rat, really. 1.5 year old was early, even for a rat.

You got to go through it if you ever have pets. Lots better though to love and lose than to never love. I've been through it with about eight dogs and half a dozen cats. Bailey just last year, and I don't know how long Baxter will last. I had a pair of cats before I got Bailey and Baxter, and they went six months apart. At least Baxter's managed to beat that.
