A tiny life blinks out of existence and the world goes on. In a way that's a comfort, I guess. I had to put Priscilla down, in fact as I type this. A lot of people who know me have seen her on my shoulder for the past 3+ years. How many antidepressants and Oxycodones will it take to take this hurt away?

Sorry to hear you lost her GMS.She is in a better place if that's any comfort.

paint her a beautiful picture, GMS

being creative is good for the soul

I don't know who Priscilla was but I'm sorry for your loss. It's not an easy decision to make even when you know it's for the best.

Sad to hear it. Human or animal, a friend is a friend.

Priscilla was one of my favorite rats. As for painting a picture, I wish I had the talent to do that.

If you've got a photo of her, I'd love to have a go.

The only one I have of her is just a little black spot on my shoulder from about 30 feet away. Normally we take pics of all of them but for some reason I didn't take one of her. Thanks for the offer though, it means a lot to me, really.

Sorry to hear about your loss...it never easy to deal with things like this

I had a couple of hamsters when I was a kid and they were pretty cool.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your pet. When my 20 year old cat died, it was like losing a member of the family.

Do you have lots of pets?

Sorry that you had to let Priscilla go, our pets don't live long enough. At least take comfort in knowing that you gave her as good a life as a rat could have.

Sorry GMS. We tend to get very close to our pets and can sometimes become even closer than a friend ever could. I guess time is your enemy now.

I'm sure you've heard these so just hang in there, one day at a time.
