Katie got this gorgeous memorial portrait of her pet rat, Kamp Koala, by Tim Jordan at Optic Nerve Arts in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. It makes me miss my rat, Ginger Kang-Kang, who died of cancer about fifteen years ago. He spent a semester riding everywhere on my shoulder…

That is just so damn cute. I’ve had two rats and echo many other posters-they are GREAT pets-and very social. My rats Ace and Templeton(wherever you are)were awesome and taught me many lessons about the awesome power of small things. tck tck tck…

Aaw, that’s so cute! I want another one now, the one I had when younger wasn’t very tame so I’d love to have a go at keeping a new one. Well, can’t have pets at halls/student houses so maybe after uni.

So wonderfully done and with such an adorable subject too! I have eight rats (six boys, two girls) and I know that at least one of them is going to memorialized on my body for all the love he shows me.

He’s definately got that dumbo look, my Chesnut has that droopy-eared cuteness.
worthlesswords, rat respiratory problems are all too common. My first few rats died in a similar way. I wish for lung health for all little fluffies. ;_;
