Main Memorial
I still remember the first day that I bought him. It was a sunny day, with maybe a few clouds. I
was going to the pet store, with no big plans on buying a new pet after my 3 mice (Patches,
Pikachu, and Sable) died. I walked into the pet store like usual, just browsing with my mother. I
came across the rodent area, and I saw all of the cute little feeder ratties on sale. Most were
albinos, 1 or 2 of them were white with creamish-brown splotches everywhere, and a couple of
them were black and white. There was a friendly young store worker there, just feeding the rats
and talking to some customers. I came up to her and asked, "Can I see one of those rats?" She
said, "Sure!" reached in, and grabbed the rat that would soon-to-be Eddie. I looked at her, and
said, "I think I'd rather have a girl" just because I preferred girl animals at that time (I don't
anymore, I like both). While I was saying that, the store worker was keeping Eddie on a cute little
rainbow-coloured wooden play structure; he was running everywhere on it! Occasionally, the store
worker would even have to turn it around a bit to keep him from following off. I petted him a few
times, but I was quite cautious of him possibly biting me (like my mice sometimes did). Anyways,
the girl replied, "Hmm, well, in my opinion, the males are kinder. They do smell a bit more,
however." "Nicer? Who cares if they smell more!" I thought. And so, I bought him. She put Eddie
in a cute temporary carrying cardboard box for me to bring him home in. We also bought him a box
of treats, that resembelled little rainbow coloured donuts. Walking to the car, I was practically
squeeling with joy. When I sat down in my car seat, I just kept shoving donut treats at him, and
whenever I heard him nibble, I would squeel even more and say, "Did you hear that?! Did you?
That was the cutest thing EVER!" After that, all my memories of going home are a blur.
Here is my pet rat, Eddie. I am unsure when he
was born, but he was already fairly large when
I bought him. I bought him at petstore, in the
feeder rat area. He was with some albinos, but
I must say, he was the most hansom of the all
;) He died on July 14, 2012. He mainly ate
Regal Rat, along with his nightly treat of a
various type of seed. He lived in a glass tank,
and his favourite toy was a mirror with beads
around it. (What a vain rat!) Thank you for
reading, and R.I.P Eddie! <3
Lots of love, Sir Eddie the Knight! Forever and always! XXOO I can't wait to meet you again some
day!
