			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a few days now and it still is not any easier to write these posts. Our second Mynx, one of the <a href="http://rattitude.com/2009/06/the-prodigal-sons/">Prodigal Sons</a> passed to the <a href="http://rattitude.com/the-rainbow-bridge/">Rainbow Bridge</a> on Dec 22, 2009. I will remember him as one of the strongest willed rats I have known &#8230; and I will miss his indomitable spirit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of the last hour I held little Prongs as he began the journey that would take him to <a href="http://rattitude.com/the-rainbow-bridge/">the rainbow bridge</a>.</p>
<p>Prongs is one of <a href="http://rattitude.com/2009/06/the-prodigal-sons/">the prodigal sons</a>. He is one of the boys who were returned home by our daughter. He seemed to have been waiting for her visit tonight.</p>
<p>Although time was beginning to show itself in Prongs he was still spry and loved to jump onto your shoulder once the door to the Ferret Nation he lived in was opened. He would often turn right around and jump back onto your shoulder after free range time.  Tonight, after our daughter&#8217;s visit, Prongs seemed just a bit older than when she was here.</p>
<p>She had given him kisses and snuggled with him and he was happy. Although when I went to return him to his home with his brothers he appeared very tired, like he had used up all his energy waiting to see his Mama. Our daughter had been on vacation and had actually only returned a few hours before. Dinner with Mrs.R and myself; a visit with her boys; then, off to her friends. All was well in the world.</p>
<p>Prongs laid in my hands or arms &#8230; or hands &#8230; or arms.  He was restless, then he was quiet, then restless, then quiet again. He took some water first from my finger tips then from the bowl I held to his lips. He became restless again, then quieted down to &#8220;help&#8221; me with some work. Once he got himself situated to see the screen he settled right in. About ten minutes later he nodded his head, took a deep breath and went on his way to <a href="http://rattitude.com/the-rainbow-bridge/">the Rainbow Bridge</a>.</p>
