In Memoriam Rodentus - Sigmund Rex

Sig was a weird hairless methusaleh rodenr, the only male among the bevy of females. He was funky and fun in his own way, even after he got beat up by the younger girls and given his own cage. He was a gift from the Woman, and a marvel to watch. If my parents knew how much money I spent keeping up his health, they would still plotz. He was a true scrapper, surviving even pneumonia and the death of his mate, Polythemia. He was never the most social of rats, but still, he added life to my room, and takes life away in his passing.
