TBird and the Rat

You’re probably wondering “what’s up with the rats?”  I would be.  My sweet daughter thought giving me rats for xmas was a splendid idea.  Did i ever ask for rats? No. Talk about rats? No. But one time we were in the pet store getting supplies for the 8 bettas she rescued from impending death in her Environmental Science class (kids were leaving them at school over winter break.. no food for two weeks=  certain death).  While I waited for her to interrogate a worker on proper betta care… I wandered off to look at animals.  She found me looking at these two baby rats curled up in ball together sleeping.  I commented about how cute they were (along with the chinchillas and the guinea pigs) and we left.  I guess thats when she decided I needed those rats.

The truth is… when my GF and I separated over the summer I left behind our two dogs and three cats. I live and work in my loft now, so having clients come in with animals roaming around and jumping on them is not ideal.  So being pet deprived and all, she figured rats would be perfect (and they were cheaper than chinchillas and guinea pigs).

I wasn’t certain about them at first, but they are so cute and cuddly I fell in like with them fairly quick.  They’re pretty freakin adorable. :)
