ralph, as he wanted to be remembered

beloved friend and mouse, trusted pet and avid crawler- my cute companion, ralph the mouse, died this week. he died of apparent natural causes, surrounded by the pine shavings he knew so well. he is survived by 1021 sisters and brothers, 10 aunts and 15 uncles and numerous cousins. he had children as well, but they have since made their own way in the world.

ralph was a spirited mouse, full of energy and a love of acting, his chosen profession. he is most commonly known for his role in the film 'mouse', which made him a legend in his own right. he became very close to the writer and director of that film, k. korner, even spending weekends with korner's family. he never let fame get to his head though, and acted as any mouse would during his days. he loved life and good food - he enjoyed puppy chow the best.

in the end, ralph led a fulfilling life, bringing joy to all those that held his furry little body and stroked his soft belly. thanks for the memories, ralph. i will miss you.
