Okie I must bed now. Nighty nights you cuties <3
Reblog if you’ve actually SEEN the movie “The Aristocats”
Let’s see who’s over 18
I have it somewhere on VHS.
Ignore my sadface and whatnot, but this is important stuff and significant to me so yeah, sad story time.
The rat I am holding is Daniels. He was my first pet rat and the reason I now have 7 lovable little ratties. I originally bought him for snake food, way back when I had gotten my first snake, so basically forever ago, and he was just a tiny baby with hardly any fur and his eyes not even open yet but my snake didn’t eat him and I felt so bad that he was going to die for no purpose now because the snake didn’t eat him and he was just a baby and wouldn’t survive the night without mom.
So I hand raised his little ass, kept him with me 24/7 and bottle fed him and rubbed his belly to make him pee and the whole shabang and he became like my best friend and I took him everywhere with me in my purse. And he’d ride on my shoulder on walks and eat cheetos and get his fur all caked in orange and I’d have to give him a bath and stuff because he’d be too damn lazy to do it himself.
He’s out lived the rest of my original trio (Hairless and Aspen, I miss you two little shits) but I think Daniels time here is about up. He’s lost so much weight in the past month, he’s just skin and bones but he was still eating like a fatty and running around so I figured I’d just let nature take its course rather then intervene since he was in no visible pain.
Even now all he wants to do is get on mommy’s shoulder but he doesn’t have the strength to really balance up there anymore.
So I’m just kinda holding him and he’s giving me lots of kisses, but his breathing is really shallow… and he’s really cold… and my poor little baby is in his last hours I’m fairly sure.
I’m just gonna stay up til he’s gone and give him lots of farewell cuddles and keep on telling him he’ll always be my favorite rat and just talk to him I s’pose. The hardest part is just watching him trying to comfort me because he knows I’m upset, he’s even doing the vibratey eye thing that still freaks me out.
Rats are so smart, they’re such wonderful creatures. If you ever want a small pet, get a rat, forget mice and hamsters and gerbils. They will literally bond with you and be your friend and stuff and yeah.
Sorry for the sad post and long whatever speech.
I’m gonna miss this guy a lot.
Like a lot a lot.
Daniels <3
well this just makes me feel great about my body..
although i love ellen, she shouldn’t be body shaming the minorities just to make the majorities feel better
She’s not making fun of skinny people, she’s making fun of the symbol that represents skinny by the companies that make clothes.
^ like seriously, some people just don’t get it
