So, a wee-bit of Google Research pointed us to Rats. Yes, I know. RATS. Joey isnt allergic to them, they are CHEAP, they arent a dog, or a bird, or a fish. So, now we are the proud owner of not one, but two rats. Yes, Rats.
You cant have just one rat. They are very social creatures, and a rat alone is a very depressed animal. And who can stand a depressed rat? Certainly, not I.
So, we own rats. And I have to tell you, after you get past the "OMG, we own Rats." They are truly a great pet. They are happy to stay in their tank and play together. They are even happier to come out and run around on a table. Especially the computer table or Joey's train table. They arent stupid like guinea pigs and hamsters, they wont jump off. The love to sit up your shoulders and hang out with you for as long as you permit them.
Our first rat is named Mr. Nutty Goose. After Joey's first Toontown Character. We had to wait 2 weeks for the second rat, and his name is Picklegrooven. Named after Joey's 2nd Toontown Character....
And I suppose you want to see what these little creatures look like....Oh here you go....
And might I add, If you think taking pictures of kids was a challenge. Taking pictures of two wound up rats, is nearly impossible.
Regardless, wait no longer:
This is Mr. Nutty Goose.
NuttyGoose is on the left, Picklegrooven is on the right. Picklegrooven is still a little shy.
I think this is NuttyGoose, I dunno for sure.
Ally and NuttyGoose.
When you put them in a confined area, taking their picture is much easier. Picklegrooven on the left, Nuttygoose on the right.
So much for confined. It didnt take long for them to figure out how to get out. They are rats afterall. Yes, Rats.
Picklegrooven in the very useful engine shed.
