Farewell Ping

It is so sad to say goodbye to a pet.   Ping was just a small siamese rat.   She lived with us for two years and has finally succumbed to cancer.    Even though she was such a small and gentle critter, she was very deep in our hearts.   Not a day went by when each one of us would communicate with her.   She was always happy to eat strawberry yoghurt, or almonds or cranberries.   She loved a crust of buttered toast and would furiously lick off all the butter. Her place of peace was in the hoodie of john's track top.   She was happy to stay there for hours. She had a personality and would often push you away with her paw.   She was an expert at tearing up newspapers to make a nest.

Ping gave as much love to us as we gave to her.   Farewell dear gentle soul....
