This may sound stupid...
 
I found one of my pet rat deceased this morning... I am very sad but feel ridiculous to cry for a rat. He was such a little clown and very lively. I will miss him a lot and my other pet rat is also looking for him everywhere in the habitat...

It's not stupid at all. A pet is a pet and becomes part of our environment, our family so to speak. It's ok to feel sad, that's only normal. I'm sorry for your loss.

That sucks!! I'm so sorry for your loss, losing one of your pets can be a devastating blow. Take care of you.

So sorry for your loss... My little sister had a pet rat growing up... We all mourned her passing in different ways... A loss is a loss...

Soft, my sincere condolances to you. Your grief is not "stupid" at all. If you experience loss, don't negate what you are feeling and who you are.

Almost two weeks ago I spent a weekend with pet rats. A mama rat and her babies. This was the first time in my life I have been exposed to rats as pets. I fell in love with the mama rat. She is such a good mom. I literally watched the rats for hours and played with them a bit.

This past weekend my girlfriend and I went and purchased all of the stuff we need to prepare for the adoption of the mama rat and one female baby. I have been a dog person for much of my life and now my heart has opened up to the Rat species. (The kind with four legs.) Best wishes to you.

I am sorry for your loss. A loved one is loved no matter the shape they come in.

Please know that emotions are never stupid and you should never let anyone tell you how you should feel. Even when that someone is yourself.

You're not stupid at all..... ((((( Softhearted )))))

I've owned pet rats over the years and I've spent money on trying to save them when they got pneumonia, etc. Every pet is loved and grieved for when it passes (f)(f)

I'm so sorry for your loss....

No way not stupid. I'm sorry you lost your friend. It's hard to lose someone you care about.

So sorry for your loss Soft. hugs Pets are a vital part of us.

Critters of all kinds seem to wiggle their way into our hearts...we can't help but fall in love with them and their antics and silliness. They certainly have their own little personalities. Sorry for your loss, cry til you get it out. You'll feel so much better for having done so.

sylvie 01-25-2011 03:16 PM

princessbelle 01-25-2011 03:16 PM

love is love is love.

So sorry for your loss.

Apocalipstic 01-25-2011 03:19 PM

So sorry for your loss! Maybe you and your other pet can spend extra time together to make this change easier for you both.

Best to you!

You've lost a member of your family. It's not only okay, but healthy to mourn. You need to talk to some like-minded people who understand what grieving an animal is like - and you certainly have touched many of us here with this thread.

I've never had rats myself. Don't know how I missed out on that - I've had just about everything else. ;) But my brother had them for his kids for years. They had mazes for them that covered almost one entire wall of the basement. They were lucky rats! Rats are intelligent creatures; full of fun and love. Anyone who has known one can understand why you would be feeling the way you do.

My sympathies on the loss of your family member. I hope the other rat can adjust to his/her loss as well.

Sorry for your loss, pets no matter what package they are in are family.
Our best to you in your time of grief.

Softly 01-25-2011 04:57 PM

I am sorry :( it's not stupid at all!!!
*hug*

always2late 01-25-2011 05:07 PM

Soft, I've had pet rats and they are wonderful pets and companions. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Cowboi 01-25-2011 05:13 PM

I am sorry for your loss. I don't think its stupid at all. It was a living, breathing animal. I hope that your other rat doesn't grieve too much.

sharkchomp 01-25-2011 05:18 PM

Ummm I've mourned over losing stuffed animals when I was a kid so mourning the loss of a living creature isn't stupid EVER!!!! I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure he or she is in cheesy Heaven (or whatever rat's love).
