ratties some weeks ago. (As she notes, Hyperion played Santa in our Christmas Pageant last December.) I don't have much to add to her profile of him. He was very sweet and cuddlesome, well-tempered and patient, like his father Rufus.
Because the weather has finally improved, we had already scheduled today to bury the rats who had died over the winter. A family grave covered with new flowers now holds Missy, her daughter Sookie, her grandson Hyperion, and Hyperion's adoptive brother Apollo.
