Long night.

Watching one of your pets gasping for air is one of the worst things ever. Old Man seems to be living up to his name, and I don't like it one bit. We honestly thought last night was the last time we'd spend with him. The little one is stubborn though, and I'm all the happier for it. Though, my hopes aren't exceedingly high. He's getting old, and his myco (a bacterial disease common in rats, and sometimes chronic as it seems to be in this case) is getting the better of him. Yonderboy went to pick him up some different antibiotics this morning. We'll see if it helps. Hopefully it will add a few more (painless) months onto his life.

Needless to say, neither of us got much sleep last night.
