Awww I totally understand, I used to have pet hampsters and whenever one died I would cry a lot and then get a new one but in the end I had to stop getting them because they never lasted long and my poor emotions couldn't take it.
It's not just a rat it's a pet rat and I know people find it hard to understand but it's just the same as when a pet dog or cat dies.
When the time comes maybe you could ask Grant to make a little box to bury the rat in and then do a little memorial service but get Grant to make all the descions about what takes place because it will be the last thing he can do for Jack and in some ways it might help him come to terms with it.
