Really rough breathing day for me. I look like trash. My lungs feel like trash. My lung ct and surgery are Friday so think good things. I look awful here lmao I miss cricket but these help

This is Lemur (tiny grey baby) and Oat asking to be unhanded but I wanted to show the difference between the boys I rescued at the little boys at the same size the bigs were when I go them at the end of February. 3mo difference in age here.

In the second shot you can see Possum (stripy lilac baby) & Grimly (more rex)

Today, I said "See to later" to my best rat friend ever, Cricket. I will never not miss Crick. But he is with my daughter and I know they will be okay. Idk about me but I won't have much longer left myself. I'll go hold them soon.

I love you, Cricket. I will love you forever.

Star, you were such a good, quiet, loving sweet rat. I never had a tight personal bond with you, but I loved you, too. I will miss your little face and soft personality in our crazy female mischief.

My heart is broken. I will go cuddle my babies after let the girls say goodbye to the body and bury them.

On both wheels.

Sorry that I am chaos.

I find it fun that when oriented this way, they share only magenta and red with the same name and space.

Got told my Dr might wanna remove my port (which would kill me long term) and had to disclose I have now also been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and that we have to talk before she makes choices, because I'm now terminal and there's no reason to try to save spots for devices when I get even older. I'm 33. My condition is terminal, my lungs are failing. My 33rd birthday is in the morning. Thankfully, my wife & husband planned me a space themed day with our son. The perfect day for my birthday. Unfortunately, overshadowed now by the whole "must try not to die this year" issue.

Husband is allowed to be with boyfriend, btw. He made me a pizza before he left as a snack I asked for. He's not in trouble.

anyone have an option in what's going on with her coat? Is she a chimera or an odd agouti? She is two completely different colors. The head 1/3rd of her is dark grey (she is named Charcoal bc she appeared mostly this color as a baby) which I think is just a faded standard black based on siblings. But her ass 2/3rds is chocolate. Her underside is more pale and is brown, like an agouti. She is self except an irish. I don't think her individuals hairs are banded. I do think there's a chance that she may have silvering (white guard hair tipping)? She's a feeder bin rat. She had only black based siblings, I didn't see an agouti base in her bin. But I do have a silverfawn from that bin, a year before her?

Anyone wanna guess whats up with my cute dork?

She does also have a very weird habit of squeaking. If you touch the transition zone between colors, which I cannot determine if is a personality trait of being dramatic or if she has some sensation that's odd there. It's not repeatable immediately after a squeak. 🤷🏼🥴
