Farewell Poppy

Monday morning I woke up, and as usuall, went to check on our pet rat, Poppy. He was getting really old, and we've noticed how he hasn't been moving around very easily. He used to be very energetic, and the moment he heard anyone walk into the room he would run out his cage and look to see what was going on. He mostly was hoping for a treat. When we let him out, he would just run and hop around all excited. Lately though, you would have to make a lot of noise by his cage to get him to poke his head out. He wasn't able to climb the stairs to his food, so we had to bring it down to him. So for the fast few weeks we have been thinking he probably wouldn't be around much longer. and Monday morning when I went to check on him, he didn't come out his home, and we knew he was gone.

He was a really good rat, and a fantastic first pet for us. We are going to miss him. Farewell Poppy!!
