Comments: How can I begin to summarize Medina? Well, ever since I first saw RMAX's site, I was fixated on Medina. I kept on & on, bugging Chrissy with my obsession. I waited through two litters, & many breeding attempts at trying to get a Medina clone. Finally, after almost a year of waiting & bugging Chrissy, she let me take her home as a birthday present June 7th, 2005. I am forever in Chrissy's debt, it was the best birthday present I could ever get. For her to let one of her main heartstring rats come to live with me.. really shows what kind of caring person Chrissy is underneath that hard POPO exterior. ;3 Let's see, Medina was totally nutso. She acted like a 2 month old all the time. She didn't take crap from other rats, so I'd say she was the alpha girlie. Her specialty was standing on her hind legs on my knee or shoulder for five minutes or so straight, just... watching the world go by. She also gave awesome kisses, :3 Her cagemates were BUNNI, RMAX AMYGDALA, & RMAX BAILEY'S.

Medina passed away August 02, 2005 around 10pm in my arms. She had been perfectly fine the day before, but as I got her out for her daily loving, I noticed she was very lethargic, cool to the touch, & the bottoms of her feet were very pale. She had no discharge. I gave her a baytril shot, but before I gave fluids I decided to let Chrissy know, & ask if she wanted to see her. So, I drove her over to Chrissy's. She gave her some fluids & held her for a bit while we talked. Around 9:30ish I came back home, with the knowledge that she was simply shutting down from age & whatnot. She had been through a lot in her life. I cuddled her up in a towel, against my cheek as I lay on the bed watching The Cosby Show with her. She fell asleep, then not a minute later her little arms & legs twitched slightly & she was gone. Very soft. Very easy. Very peacefully. I cried against her for a minute, then got online to let Chrissy know. I then made sure she stayed curled up in the position I want her buried in as I collected her things; a few yogies, her favorite food bits in her mix, & a greenie for her to take with her. She never played with many toys, but was the world's best hoarder. I saw it fit to give her some of her favorite hoarding foods. All the while I was holding her in her curled position against my chest in the towel. I wrapped her hammock around her with her foods, then clipped a little of her fur to keep & closed the box. The next day we got her a proper 'final bed' and buried her under my window.

If you know me, you know how I felt about this girl. I was obsessed with her. She was loved every day, constantly, & I believe that she knew it. It's not the quanity but the quality of the time I had with her. & she made it more than worth-while. Everything. Just, so perfect. Her whole life she did more than was expected from her. She made us all happy, & I hope I was able to return some of that happiness to her. I know I did. I know she felt it.

Medina was truly a one of a kind girl. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that I was allowed to share my life with her. I couldn't have asked for more in a rat. She was my Medina-deens. My little celebrity, my personal star. I thanked her for sharing her life with me, & feel she did the same. It was something I will forever remember. Good night, Medina! You did so well. <3
