Patrick and his brother Francis were a delightful pair of rats we got as babies and loved
very much. Francis passed away last year so we decided to get a companion for Patrick.
We were talked into getting a pair of brothers (or so we thought) to keep him company last
year, and 2 months later we had 3 babies making a grand total of 6. Patrick had a new
lease on life after that and we got a few really good months with him. He started to show
signs of slowing down before Christmas and last night it was time to join his brother.
He will be very much missed.
