I think he'd be happy this way too. He was just about 3 and always getting those nose bleed type things (mostly through his eyes) that aren't actually nose bleeds. He had a tumor between his front legs too. Rats tumors aren't always cancerous but I just have a feeling that this one was. He started getting really shaky the last couple days and it just broke my heart to think that he was in even the slightest amount of pain.

hey emmah, you did the right thing and showed a lot of courage and compassion.
