Nicodemus' Valentine

On Valentine's Day I had a box of "Sweethearts" candies, and I thought I would give one to the boys.  I know, candy is too sugary and my rats are too fat, but a rat's life is too short not to eat candy!  So I gave Nicodemus a piece of candy. Of course all of his brothers were jealous and tried to get it away from him!  Eventually Nicodemus finished his candy without letting the other boys get any, and they were disappointed of course.  Rizzo (the runt) was not going to give up, he was determined to get a piece of that candy, never mind that it had already been eaten!  He chased Nicodemus around the cage and got him cornered.  Nicodemus thought that he could get away easily, being that he was larger, but he was wrong!  Rizzo grabbed Nicodemus' face, flipped him on his side, and proceeded to lick the remaining candy flavor from Nicodemus' teeth.  And that is how Nicodemus was french-kissed by another (male) rat on Valentine's Day.

Oatis and Scruffy

My rat Oatis was chasing after my little toy poodle, Scruffy.  She was getting excited, and sniffing at him and wagging her tail.  Oatis kept getting closer to her, and she became slightly nervous.  She turned her back to Oatis and started walking away.  Oatis then stood on his hind legs, facing Scruffy's butt, and started flailing his arms, trying to grab her wagging tail.  He got hold of it and Scruffy bolted!  Oatis made a mopey face and crawled back onto my lap.  Who ever heard of a dog-loving rat?  Or better yet, a dog scared of a rat?

Toby and the Red Lipstick

I had left my rat Toby in the bedroom to play, and when I went up to get him he was covered from head to toe in blood.  I obviously panicked, put him in his cage, and looked to see what he had injured himself on.  I was planning on taking him to the vet with some idea of what had happened.  I was like a  posessed woman opening drawers and cupboards, trying to find what had cut him.  Then I found it.....a chewed up bright red lipstick.  When I went back to see Toby after I had found the lipstick, he was still covered in it, making no attemt to clean it off. He obviously thought it suited him, and he actually wore it for the rest of the day.

They're Turning all the lights out

And climbing up the sairs

Let's hurry as it's bedtime

And we havn't said our prayers
