Cats - Mo, my silver tabby, lived 'til 17 years old.  Billie, my crazy tortie girl, disappeared when she was under 3 years old.  Boris, my big beautiful ginger boy and Billie's brother - found dead on the pavement one morning in December 2009, presumably hit by a car​

Rats - Perdy & Mitts, my first ever rats.  The amazing Mr Pob, International Rat of Mystery, my first boy and first dumbo. Zemmi, my first rex, such a sweet man. Manny, my first heart rat and first Russian Blue. Aimee & Floss, sisters, such lovely girls.  Lucy Liu, my first rescue girl, dumped outside Tesco Ivybridge in her cage. Fargo & Riddick, my first boys from a breeder. Megan & Melody, the "M" girls, both so very cheeky, both lived 'til almost 3. Monkey & Imogen, such beautiful rescue girls, dumped in a hamster cage in a box beside a river in February with 11 others and left too soon.

​

Brenna, a girl with a huge attitude 'til the day she left when she must have been over 3! Danny and his daughters Newt and Ripley - part of an amazing rescue family, many of whom left too soon. Murphy, a friend's rat who came to live out his days with me after his brother died. Turk Shadow and Noodles, my 3 gorgeous HKM boys.  Strawberry who left during her spay :o(  Kembali, Tia Carrere, Tempest and Halle Berry, part of the amazing Park rescue. Finn, one of my lovely gootieboyz, left too soon.  Sir Lucian Dramaticus de Minirat (Lucian Lionheart) who was so tiny when he arrived, but had an enormous personality. Riley, another gorgeous gootieboy, all left too soon. The lovely Alan who spent nearly a year with me after his cage mate died, leaving him alone. Darling Matilda, reunited with her sister Strawberry and her great love Lucian. Sweet, cheeky little Pasco, an RSPCA boy I saw up for adoption the same day I lost Tia Carrere. Wonderful River who did so amazingly after his neck abscess left a non-healing hole and gave him wonky teeth which needed burring every fortnight under anaesthetic.  And the last of the 3 gorgeous gootieboyz - wonderful, proud, brave Huxley.  We had 2 months from when whe discovered his neck lump wasn't an abscess but an inoperable mass.  My 2 wonderful "Russians" - handsome hooded Rasputin;  I used to sing 'that song' to him and cried when I heard it a month after he went. And his funny brother Dmitri, so handsome and so cheeky with his failed promises of kisses.  I miss my Russians.

 

Rescue boys Maximillian and Montgomery - never quite turned into cuddle bugs.  Miss Winnie - she outlived her 2 "Russians" and Max and Monty and lived briefly with another pair of rats before she went.  Like Brenna she had attitude right to the end.

 

Miss Flea, my darling gootie girl and sister to the 3 gootie boys got to an amazing 3 years 1 month 1 week.  Lymphoma and HLD hardly slowed her down until right at the end. My Crazy White Girls Saoirse & Sinéad - never stopped being busy, crazy girls.  

 

Darling, wonderful Charlie.  He survived bordetella virus as a baby - 6 of his siblings didn't.  Larger than life, he was like a big kid and it broke my heart when he left so suddenly - I think the bordetella must have left him with a heart weakness.
