Bonne nuit, Lestat

We said our good-byes to Lestat the Pirat today. Although his prognosis looked good immediately after his surgery, the tumor that had caused his eye problem grew back at an alarming rate and spread around his throat. He was a pretty sad little critter by the end.

To compound our grief, this concludes the Rat Era at the Maier house. While we enjoyed our little friends very much, my increasing allergic reaction and the too quick good-byes have led us to decide against getting another pair.

A sad morning.
