Quotation

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile and watch your answers change.

Rats

In the past months a lot of things happened regarding our rats. Yukiko died. We got four young rats, Aki, Kiyoko, Ylvi and Una (Ylvi and Una are special, see our rats page). Together with Kazumi and Jun we then had six rats. But Aki got sick almost immediately, the other young rats got sick as well shortly after, but Aki did not recover and died a week later. Kazumi got cancer and had a operation but recovered very well while Jun got an infection of some inner organs and passed away only two days after we noticed that she was ill. So we now have four rats and luckily they are all healthy and doing fine. I hope this situation lasts for as long as possible, there were too many deaths already this year.
