Goodbye, Sweet Haru ~ Welcome, Olaf and Kristoff

Goodbye, Sweet Haru.  We will miss you.
We had a bit of emotional week this past week.  Our sweet little rat, Haru, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday.  Lizzy and I were both heartbroken.  We only had Haru for two months, but during that time Lizzy became very attached to her.  I loved the way Lizzy would carry her.  She would hold her against her tummy, like a baby, and Haru was very patient with her, even when Lizzy was not as calm and careful as she could have been. Haru was Lizzy's special little friend.

To help ease Haru's passing for Lizzy, I went out and picked up two little boy rats today.  They are both very cute, and very friendly little rats.  I'm looking forward to Lizzy bonding with them and having fun with them.  We named them Olaf and Kristoff, from the movie, Frozen.  Olaf is definitely the friendliest rat.  He loves to sit on Lizzy's lap and let her pet him.  It makes me think of the line in Frozen when Olaf says, "I like warm hugs."

Welcome, Olaf and Kristoff.
