Today I've lost a family member... True, I only knew her for a year, but she was absolutely one of the best pets I've had.
She may've been a little pirate, bandit, thief, whatever you want to call her, but she was my girl.
"Lori" Murray died today, taken by a somewhat common affliction in rats - lung cancer. Yet, what is it to die if you have not done things to make sure other people never forget?

From the time she dragged a balled up sandwich wrapper from BK all the way across the room to her cage, then went back for the empty fry container, to the numerous times I found her dragging birdseed packets into her little den of collectables. I'll never forget my girl, and I'm sure neither will her sister.

I'll see you again someday, Lori...
