R.I.P. Schlepp Jan 2001 – Jun 2004
Last night I was trying to give my ratties some cherries and noticed that Schlepp was motionless, with her eyes half open. At first I thought she was sleeping, but then the realization came almost the next second, as she didn’t even move when I tried to wake her. Otter was in a corner, not really knowing what to do. Sigh, this is all so sudden. Otter had been the one with the tumor, she was the one whom I’d brought to the vet last week thinking of putting her down, but not Schlepp – Schlepp was still so chubby and healthy, I’d never thought that she would go before Otter. I guess in life, nothing is predictable.
