my little rat monty passed away yesterday next to his brother dipper. he was such a joyous little rat, always happy to greet the human, or even cat, that came close to his home. he always took care of his brother, who has arthritis and is blind, and now it's my job to take over. he was an amazing companion and helped me through my anxiety, i couldn't have been happier today without that little rat. he and his brother were the first rats i've ever owned, and i'm glad to say my experience was amazing. i'd get them again. he's forever missed in my heart, alongside dippers who misses him dearly, i imagine. i'll take over your duties monty, and make sure your brother lives well for you and himself. <3
