>>235965When getting a pet with a short lifespan, you need to be prepared to deal with the idea of losing them, and focus on giving them the best life they can live. Another thing to consider is if the joy you got with them while alive is worth the sadness of when they die. If Gura gets a pet rat, I hope she makes the best of it, and is able to move on when it does die. It's not our decision to make for her after all.
