She was. I deal pretty well with the lifespan issue, but Cathy was getting kind of depressed about it, so we're off the rat treadmill for a while. (Also, getting rats that actually want to be out of the cage enough playtime with the dog around could be a little tricky.)
We're planning to hang on to the cage, though, since we figure we probably won't be off rats forever. They do make excellent kids' pets....
