Our furbaby Jeremy died yesterday.
He was around 2 and a half years old and a real sweetie.
We originally bought him as a cagemate for an older rat of ours who was left alone as the sole survivor of our Ratpack-II. He was so squirmy and active that we called him "Everywhere Man" like the Beatles' "Nowhere Man" and he soon became Jeremy after the Yellow Submarine character. Shortly after Jeremy was acquired, old rat passed too and we had to get another rat. Ratpack-III became a class of 2, Jeremy and Cosmo.
A lot of Peace surrounds me at this time and did yesterday as well when I found Jim-Jam had passed. I wrapped him in a blanket for Cosmo to say goodbye and we buried him in the backyard when Shawn came home. We were doing okay... and then we checked on Cosmo.
He was laying in the blanket Jeremy had been in--not sleeping. He was just... being sad. He would have been crying if he could have; I broke down at the sight. My rat was sad. I'd seen some of our other ratties mourn but this was sad. His only bro-mate, gone. I wept and pet his head while Shawn cradled him. Then we moved his cage into our bedroom to stay and we'll be his company now.

I am so sorry for your loss. One of the hardest parts about owning pets is the fact that you always outlive them. Hopefully Cosmo will be comforted in his new cage location.
@Morgan I hear ya. 8 rats down the road and it's still just as hard. I hope we keep Cosmo adequate company too, he's a softie.
So sorry Honey.
I am so sorry for your loss and Cosmo's, hon. Jeremy looks like he was such a sweetie. I agree with Morgan that it is so hard to outlive the pets we love so much. I'm sending a big hug your way, and please give Cosmo a loving pat for me.
@Dad, thank you.
@Heather, Jeremy was SUCH a punkin'. I miss him. Thank you for the hug and pats; we need that.
awwww many hugs!!!
sorry to hear about your little one. pets really do become more than just pets.
Aw very sorry for your loss :( Losing our little fur babies is always hard. Even harder when another is left on its own but It sounds like little Cosmo will appreciate the extra company being in your room.
Awwww sweetie , so sorry for your loss :( {{hugs}}
