I never thought I’d own a rat, until my girlfriend brought home two. The brown and white one was my favorite — so smart and eager to discover the world. She showed me her dynamism and joy for life. The tough part is that rats only live two or three years. I’ll always remember their little bodies in my hand, breathing slowly, and looking at me with their smart eyes. I miss them.
