Rats
the perfect pets

I love rats! People who know me also know how I can go on and on and on about these fantastic creatures. I've always been a cat person, but since my mother has a kitten phobia I had to stick to animals in cages. I ended up with my first rat back in -95, he was a beautiful little thing and we became best friends. Thanks for everything Faramir. he lived alone his entire life, even though rats need company of their own sort, I feel guilty about that now. But I also know he was happy enough with me. He was very tame and we used to go out together the whole time. He had a little leach but mostly he used to just sit on my shoulder or in my sleeve while I did the walking. He went with me everywhere. He died in -97, and I was heartbroke. Last year I took over an old rat male called rabies, he was already 2,5years old when I got him but we got along great. In march '99 he got a lethal injection and died peacefully. He was very ill the last few months of his life so I thought it to be for his own good. I really miss him. A home without a rat is an empty home. The big picture to the right is "Phantoma's it's got to be rabies" (a real pedigree name) and the little picture is my beloved "Faramir Bombur Meriadoc". Rest in peace both of ya, I know you're in a better place now.
