Last week I developed a horrible cough and had to visit the clinic. Turns out I had an upper-respiratory infection, but the doc didn’t think I needed antibiotics so I’ve been sticking it out on Nyquil and lots of water. I feel a lot better but I still have a pretty bad cough. Hopefully it will be gone soon because it has stayed way past its welcome! Other than that my life has been pretty darn boring. The most exciting thing I’ve done all week is buy a sprinkler for our front yard. We haven’t had a good rainfall here in a few months so the grass is dying It’s been a very dry summer, and to be honest when I moved up here I thought it would rain here a lot more than it did in Texas, but I’ve been proven otherwise lately. Hopefully it will grow back soon though. I’ve been pretty diligent with putting the sprinkler out to water it.

I’ve added a real footer to my site finally. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it! And let’s not forget my Unconscious Mutterings for the week!

My female brown fancy rat, Peanut, is sick She developed an upper-respiratory infection over the night somehow. I found her this morning in her cage with her eyes barely open and she was acting very lethargic. I rushed her to the vet. Thankfully my other 3 rats didn’t get this, but it was still a hefty vet bill at $65. She looks terrible but hopefully the Baytril will start to work soon. I feel bad for her. I really hope it clears up soon. I’ve been nursing her throughout the day and she seems to want to lay up behind my neck for the most part, I guess because it’s warm there. She’s still so cold, though. I really hope she makes it through through this

Edit: Peanut has died tonight. Throughout tonight she slowly became worse and worse, and unfortunately she passed away. I only had her for a couple of weeks but I grew to love her not only as a pet, but as a little ratty friend. She was a little over a year old. I regret not having taken a lot of pictures of her. I have a few but they aren’t of the best quality thanks to my crappy blackberry camera. She’s the light brown rat on the left
