Blacky,

You have been an inspiration to all of us. You were an amazing soul, so deep and wise, so strong and yet gentle. We miss you so much. You were so fuzzy and cute, but you went through so much in life. You went through surgery and cancer and broken leg…we are amazed at how strong you were throughout, and are eternally thankful that you also became closer to us in your time of need. I fell in love with you from the very first day you pushed the little pedals to get your food pellets, in my psychology lab, and I am so glad I got you out of there.

You were so amazingly smart and sensitive, you are irreplaceable, we miss your presence so much. Your jumps were amazing, and so was your ability to communicate. We will never ever forget you and will always always miss you and think of you.

May the light of our love shine and make it less dark for you in your journey to your next place, and may it always keep you warm and loved on the inside wherever you are, and however long it’s been. Thank you for blessing our lives with your beautiful soul, and may you have peace and rest and fulfillment after such a long and trying life. We hope that you can eat as much fish and chicken and beats as you want to, wherever you are. You are eternally a part of us, so please come home whenever you want to.

Chloe, you were the sweetest cutest rattie on the planet. You were so cute when you ate all our paper, so cute when you tried to eat the egg container, when you would run to the kitchen knowing that you will get picked up and placed back onto the carpet. I loved giving you backrubs, and your love in return has always cut through to the deepest place inside my heart. I will miss you forever, I think of you every day, and your fluffy white and brown fur, and your cute little sleepy smily face and eyes will always be in my heart.
I am sorry if I did not do the best by you, but I did try, and I would do anything to make your life, no matter where it is, a happier one. I know you loved grapes, and I am sorry it took me so long to get them to you, that you could not eat them on your last day. Chloe, I love you so much, and I want you to know that I will always remember your warmth, and that you will always have mine, and if you ever need me, you can always always come back to me as a spirit.
Thank you for making my life so much more meaningful and happy. I am blessed that we have met in this lifetime, and I will always be your home, if you ever need to return.
