Another Rat Eulogy.

R.I.P. Lawrence, 2008-2010. We hoped he would live forever, but it was not to be. Lars was our dearest (and longest-lived) ratty, and we are both really, really bummed out right now. Incidentally, at more than 2 years old, Lawrence was an old man--rats rarely ever make it to age 3.  Here are some pictures, plus a video full of ridiculous cuteness. It's worth watching to the end of the video to see what begging for banana looks like. Also, check out my previous rat eulogy here for my general sentiment about why rats are great pets, plus some more ridiculously cute pictures.
