The World Mourns the Loss of a Great Leader
It is with shock and sadness I announce today, on Wimbley Day, that President Fibbs has gone to join his brothers in Heaben. This morning he shared some Presidentshul Biscuits wiff Max, then watched teebee and cuddled wiff his dad, and spent the late afternoon and evening snuggling with me. He had a good meal and a few yogies for this photo (in comments) which happened just a few hours before he left on his final adbenture. He was happy until the end, he was with me, and it was very quick. He didn’t suffer.
President Fibbs would have been three in January, and lived a large wonderful life. Since he shared so many adventures with all ob us, he leaves behind a legacy of joy and love.
Fank you to all that have shared in his life, it made it all the more magical. As you can imagine, my heart is shattered, but knowing he lived every moment happy and loved helps the ache. We all know the pain.
Fibbs Feltman is ready (reluctantly) to take over the Presidency, but thank goodness for Hype, the boys are never too far away to lend a little guidance and send a smile our way.
Fibbs, you have my heart foreber. I love you little man. -MM
President Fibbs, you were a class act. R.I.P.
Oh no. I am so sorry. Fibbs was such a dear and his posts made me happy even on the bleakest days.
He was such a great Prez.
Thank you for sharing him with us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you who loved him so. Hang in there.
Rest In Peace, darling Fibbs. Send us messages from heben. ????????
I’m glad the boys are together again, but it leaves the rest of you (and us) so sad and lonely. I am so very sorry, all of them brought me so much joy. My heart breaks for you. I wish rats lived as long as elephants.
I agree 100%!
I’m so sorry and very sad. I will never forget your Presidential Biscuit song. You gave smiles to so many. We will miss you.
The boys are together again, but I am crying….
Fibbs was a great leader indeed.
Love, peace and donuts…..for eberyone……
Love you forever, Fibbs.
You will never be forgottten and you will always be near.
I know that for sure.

I am so sorry to hear this. Fibbs and the gang have brought me so many, many smiles! Thank you for being there for him, and for sharing his wonderful self with all of us. Love and hugs.
Oh God, I am SO so sorry. It doesn’t matter how old they are, it never gets any easier.
Sleep tight, Fibbsy, and play hard. You were an amazing president and a wonderful, wonderful rat. xxx
I am so, so sorry. Thank you so much for sharing Fibbs with us. ????
Sweet dreams beautiful boy. Look after that piece of my heart you took with you. Hugs to your mum and dad ????????
There’s never a way to make the loss easier. Thank you for sharing Fibbs, his wit, and his love of life! Heaben will be all the better for his music. Hats off to Prezident Fibbs!!!
Anyone who’s ever shared their life with a furry companion understands how painful it is to say goodbye. Gone from your arms, forever in your hearts. I wish you well on your new adbenture, Fibbs. Your light, along with your bruvvers lights still glows in the hearts of all who know you.
Oh no… I am shocked and sad! President Fibbs, have a safe journey and please say hi to my Guinea Pig girl Rhonda who went ahead two weeks ago. Much love and good thoughts to MM and MD.
I am so sorry. Fibbs will be missed, but I am thankful for his life, adventures, and all the joy he brought into my life. Thank you for sharing Fibbs with us Sarah. You always said Fibbs was very close to Wimbley, so maybe this was his final tribute to his brother. They will forever be immortalized on the same day.
This is beyond heartbreaking….Much love and hugs to you both.
This hurts. Rats just do not live long enough. None of our pets do but the ones I’ve know (rats) lived 2-3 years at the most. So much heartache.
The world has lost its happiness today. President Fibbs’ daily posts made my days brighter. Thank you for sharing him with us. I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart is very heavy at this news. Fibbs, you will be missed so much. We all send our love, Sarah.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending comforting thoughts. ????
I am absolutely heartbroken. But I am also so very grateful to have gotten to know Fibbs and his brothers through their posts. He had such a wonderful life and brought tremendous joy to everyone. My sincerest and deepest condolences.
I am so sorry President Fibbs has passed away. He brought me so much joy during the last presidenshul election. I was so happy he won. I will truly miss him
I’m so very sorry. ????

My boys and I will sing the Presidentshul Biscuit song to honor the life of the great President Fibbs. We remember his bright and happy spirit. Thank you for sharing his journey with us.
President Fibbs,
Thank you for sharing your adventures with all, you are a twinkle of light on many a day! As I look at the sky there is one lil star that shines brighter than the rest, your journey was swift and your heart large, don’t forget to fly back by and tell your momma and poppa you’ll be waiting when it’s time????????
Very,very sad to hear about dear Fibbs ,glad to have known him,a bright star joining his brothers,in heaven bless them all, RIP.
I am very sorry for your loss. I am grateful for your willingness to share this great adventures with us all. He and his brothers have brought great joy into my heart and life. Each are dearly missed. My prayers go out to you.
I am new to this site but this is tearful news. One tends to forget how short a life our animal family members have. Much love to you at this time.
Feel sooooo sad, especially for you, Fibbs’ mom and dad!
I know the emptyness when one of your “boys” passes away and even more when there is no one left.
Hold on to all nice memories and remember he had a good and long time with you.
Oh such sad news! He will forever be my President. He worked so hard to bring donuts to all equally, and for all this he certainly has earned his heavenly reward, but it sure hurts to see him go! Fly high Fibbs, and hopefully someday you and your brothers will send someone special back to your mum, a little Marbbsley. Until then make sure to send little signs back to your mum letting her know you are thinking of her and to just say “hai”.????
So sorry to hear of Fibbs passing. It’s sad for Mom and Dad but a wonderful reunion in heben for Fibbs. I will miss him (along with his brothers) so much. They brought a ray of sunshine and levity into what can often be a dark and lonely world.
What a trooper, working even on his last day here on earf. We will all sorely miss the great Fibbs.
Just reading everyone else’s post brought tears. I’m going to miss all the news about all the things that President Fibbs is doing for country. I am glad that he went in such away. I will reallllllly miss you Fibbs. Always brought a smile to my face.???????????????????????? Now you’re in heaven with your bros.????????????????
It is known that many famous leaders throughout history have ended up the same way, though rarely one so loved.
We wish the next power-holder(s) the best of luck in dealing with all types of health-threats beforehand.
Oh no! This is terrible news. I hope, Mom and Dad, that you are doing okay. I feel as though I’d lost one of my very own rats. Fibbs, his brothers, and Marty were very special rats, and the world is the richer for having known them. They can never be truly gone, because we carry them in our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing them with us all.
So sorry for the loss 🙁 We are very sad up here in Canada. We’re trying to take comfort in the fact that Marty, Milo, Fibbs and Wimbley are all together now. We can’t imagine the adventures they’re getting into up there! They are all missed dearly 🙁
Fibbs will be sorely missed – he and his brothers inspired me to get pet rattos of my own again. Have many adbentures, little one. I love you.
Goodbye, Fibbs! Sorry it took me so long to say goodbye. You will always be loved and missed (by so many)! Keep Marty and your brothers company with extra snuggles!
