Last Friday, we said good bye our oldest rat, Anna. Anna was Tara’s sister and out lived Tara by nine months. Anna was a motherly rat who always took care of others; she would even groom us! She always had a cheerful spirit and enjoyed being petted while eating cheerios. She will be remembered for her loving and sweet personality and she is deeply missed.
