RIP to Kitten Rat

Our dear Kitten Rat has died.  The average life span of a rat is is 2 to 3 years so it is quite impressive that he lived to 4 years and Sizzles is still kickin.  He was a mischievous rat but that is why we liked him.  We taught him to unscrew a medicine bottle and remove a toy rat.  It was so funny to watch his little hands go unscrewing it.  He was also greedy and would eat anything.  Us Picketts were taught to give our animals a proper burial so we dug Kitten Rat a little grave under the tree house at my parents where many of our other beloved pets are buried.  We will miss you Kitten Rat!
This is the first day we got them.


We drew a picture to honor his favorite things that we buried with him.

I never really had a chance to get to know Kitten Rat, but he sounds like he was good pet. Let his little rat body rest in peace. I can't believe you had those rats for four years- more than twice as long as you've had your son.
