Strong Little One

This is actually my rat that's named Blake. She is my extremely shy, nervous, and very cat-like rat baby ;v;
Looks like a white rat that was dipped in black paint on the head and a big black dot on her back XD

During the time I was severely sick, I kept crying at night constantly when I thought of Blake.
I never realized this till now but Blake was one of the original 3 that I have gotten...Before a virus claimed her two sisters. ;-;
After adopting 4 more, not at the same time, 2 of them were once again claimed by the virus...But Blake still lived on
I was deathly afraid that the virus was going to get to her as she has been around the longest and was near 4 of them that has passed
But months later, she is still alive!

What made me think of the worst was the fact that only Blake, out of the trio I have, has seen a total of 4 deaths
It always makes me think if this is what has affected Blake to be a little hesitant when wanting to play or being touched
She wants to be sure that she is not going to lose anyone else before she can love
I think she's happy with who she has now ;v;
Blake is my very strong little rat baby

It's funny how I can draw rats but not so much in drawing dogs and stuff...Yay me! XD
I did more of a sketchy style than regular as I thought this would suit it better >w<
