I was appalled at the condition of the PETCO store that I was in when I went to get Lab blocks for the rats. Overcrowed cages, dirty, sick animals! I signed the on-line petition to stop live animal sales there, and you should too! Click here to go sign the on-line petition.

RATS... Dr. Suess style!

If your ratty is a fatty and really eats a lot;
then you better hide from him the yogurt drops that you just bought.
If he stashes ratlets treats for later midnight eats,
and you find rat blocks in your socks, this may spell defeat!


If your rattie and your cattie look each other in the eye!
Then you better keep a look out because you know that fur could fly.
But if your rattie and your catties start to purr and groom and kiss;
Then your rattie and your cattie are destined for friendship bliss!

If your clothes are really tatty, then your rattie is to blame.
If theres holes around your rolls, and your sleeves don't look the same
Then your rattie could be Statty or Neo or Nimbus.
So check your shirt for buttons and for holes around your bust!

Rat rants...

Ok, so I completely forgot to write about my new RATS! Yes, they are Jack (Just Jack!) and little DunDun. Awwww!

Ok so here is the story. Apparantly Jack was beat up on by another rat and had a rough time. He will be 1 year old in April.

Dun Dun who is just 3 months was housed with him while he was recouperating from some horrible abuse! Some child (who will probably go on to be a serial killer, or worse) pour lighter fluid on the cage with momma and babaies. Only 2 ratlets survied. They were at the very bottom of the nest, Hope and DunDun. Their burns were were cared for by a loving foster momma, and now I have DunDun and Jack. Couldn't seperate roomies.

Hope is still available for adoptions at Angelas Rabbits. Click on the small animal link. She is a great Lady!

Homey (the cat) has been at the vet's since Saturday morning. :( he had a very high temperature, 105+, and was very dehydrated. Fortunately Dr. Domotor fixed him up, fluids, antibiotics etc and he finally ate last night, so he is ready to come home!! YEA! I have been a little aprehensive since my favorite Bronwyn Dawson, has been out on maternity leave. I am very happy with Dr. Domotor though, she called me every morning and evening to give me reports on how Homey was doing!!

Now Kodiak, she has a hot spot. itchy ichy. Poor girl. I gave her something this morning to help it, hopefully it will.
