Pets

Our pup

It may look like he's sniffing around for food, or maybe somewhere to take a leak, but trust me, the only thing going through that dog's mind is how he can further annoy people.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I rescued another rat on Friday. Someone brought him into my work after they'd found him inside an abondoned (and sealed) cardboard box.

He's staying with an otherwise rat-less coworker for a few weeks to make sure he isn't carrying any diseases that could spread to my others. She's calling him "Dawg" (Dog is the only word her 11 month old daughter knows how to say). He doesn't seem to be socialized at all and is going to require a lot of work, but I'm sure he'll come around with time.

Tibo's crimes include grand theft of baby clothes, scissors, old sweaty T-shirts and he's not done yet.

It's a rat. What's he supposed to do? Throw tea parties?

Well socialized rats are outgoing and affectionate. When you come up to the cage they come running and are eager for attention. Some will even lick people the same way dogs do.

This one huddles in the corner and gets really tense when someone tries to touch him.

I had no idea. I just associated them as rodents to beware of. It amazes me how certain little animals can really be so lively.

I love pets,
I have 2 Rabbits and a Dog in my house. Now I am thinking about a cat also.

Got a new kitten.

^photo or it didn't happen.

Given the availability of adorable cat photos on the Internet, I'm pretty sure you could say "pics and it still didn't happen." But here ya' go.

And yes, he's every bit as scraggly as he looks.

He's adorable.

Thanks. But yeah, he looks like the cat equivalent of a hobo. His fur's all crazy and he's got lots of weird, stray white hairs just flying every which way.

He's also insanely bold. He jumps out of people's arms onto the floor and keeps trying to pick play fights with cats that weight literally 9 times what he does.

I sure love cats!

Time for a visit from Shmert!

I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to show off the cats.

The sleepy one is Wilson and the chubby one at the bottom goes by Sarah.
