This is Pinky, the family rat. He had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor on his head. We just found out today that it was cancerous and it could come back. We had no clue he was sick. Actually, he seems just as perky before the tumor appeared, and despite having his head cut on he’s been his feisty little self. He seems not fazed by it all. While we are all sort of bummed out, he’s still happily chewing on pieces of bread and peanut butter and sleeping soundly under his favorite blanket, which he had thoroughly chewed to death.
