Holly died tonight, about an hour ago. This picture was taken exactly two months ago, 14 December 2006:

My lil hairless ones are gone now. Holly was just so awesome. Because she was a hairless albino, in many ways she looked just like a tiny, pink pig. She had a very, very long life – she was around 38 months old, which is venerable indeed for a rat – and I hope she lived a happy time. She was so healthy and cheerful, and I was glad to be here at the very end for her.

Safe journeys to you, my little piggy girl, and someday I’ll catch up to you and your beautiful brother again. Say hi now and then, if you get the chance.

I miss you.
