Sometimes Mom's say extreme comments rather than to get into specific details with all the "what if's".

Eskie, thank you. I hope you're right (re: my mother) I know she doesn't like my ratties (she loves Esther Bunny though
) but without pets, I'd honestly go stir crazy. I *need* the companionship of something that doesn't talk back to me.
Thanks

((((christina))) However although My Cocoa is not here physically she has always been with me in my heart and so will your Allen. I'm sending you warm thoughts in your time of grief.

Thanks Kat. Cancer would be really hard.
Part of the reason I got boys actually (besides the energy factor, girls apparently are uber active!) is because they're less prone to cancers than girl ratties.
I'm sorry.
Cocoa is a cute name, I hope Allan is having fun with all of his new buddies up there... apparently I know a lot of people who've had rats!
