I have a pet rat that is ill and I'm going to take care of that before I go out with my girlfriend and other friends.
Is there a reason that your pet is a priority?
I've had him longer than her.
I know people that have rats as pets and they could definitely be really good. I'm glad you're taking care of it I hope everything works out.
You are right but I want to be with the rat in his last moments. I'll bail on the plans and spend some time alone with the rat.
Like I said, it's great you'll take care of the rat. Just make sure to not let this get too involved in your social life so you cancel more plans.
