In memory of Rauha, a pet rat who died today

Post by Clockwork Ghost »

Rauha died today. She is now with my gods, who will care for her and look after her until I join her once more. I didn't really know her long enough to say if she was a good rat, if she had a happy life, or pretty much anything - she fought constantly with the other two, and of the three was the least interested in any form of interaction. While the other two would come quickly when the cage was opened, Rauha would simply lie there and stare at the wall, or sit under a blanket, curled into a ball. While the other two played, she would sleep, or remain uninterested in another part of the cage. I hope that her brief time with me gave her some happiness, but I will never know, for now she has died and her time here is over. Farewell little one - until we meet again in darker places.

Death is before me today:
--like the recovery of a sick man,
--like going forth into a garden after sickness.
Death is before me today:
--like the odor of myrrh,
--like sitting under a sail in a good wind.
Death is before me today:
--like the course of a stream;
--like the return of a man from the war-galley to his house.
Death is before me today:
--like the home that a man longs to see,
--after years spent as a captive.

--From "Dialogue of a Misanthrope with His Soul" (ca 2000 BC)

Death is necessary for rebirth.
Here's to the little ones that go unnoticed.

I drink to that ;)
Free yourself from the seduction of words.

I feel your pain,
When I was little,
My mother bought me a hamster that I had named: "Teddy".

Whenever he escaped or got lost - I would cry... and he would come out of nowhere and appear before me.

I loved my lil teddy... :c

But then one day I was grounded for a week for misbehaving,
My step dad took my pet hamster away for a whole week,
And when I got him back... I was happy - but little did I know that he would be dead the very next morning. [crymore]

Cheers to giving our little furry friends the best times of their life,
For sharing our love and kindness with them. [thumbup]

Our consciousness is the darkness that envelopes all of the universe; We will live forever because we are the essence that is the absence of light.

Damn, always hard when our beloved pets pass away. [sad2] I form very strong bonds with my animal companions. Especially the quirky ones.
