Yesterday we said good bye to a loved pet. Tara lived a happy life, full of fun and adventure. She was always a cheerful rat, ready to explore and always ready for her next treat. Rats have a short lifetime, but in that time they touch your hearts so deeply. Tara taught us to enjoy the life you have been given, right down to the last moment, no matter what your circumstances are. She will always be remembered and she will be missed.
