Ratties

Well, it's certainly been a while. Maybe I got tired of "complaining"? I feel like this is all I blog about, all the bad things that happen to me. Like the fact that the window of my car was smashed in while I was in Milwaukee for St. Patrick's Day and my gps was stolen. But I won't get into that. I want to turn this blog around somehow, make it more positive and less . . . this. For my birthday from Greg (which was given early, but I'm SO fine with that lol) I received two adorable baby rats. Their names are Reno and Rusty Shackleford, or "Rusty" (Greg, haha). I've only had them for about two days and I love them already, even though they aren't too fond of me yet. I'm afraid that they'll never like me, but they'll probably come around soon. After all, I've barely had them and they're just babies. They're at the stage where they'll come up to the cage and eat treats out of my hand and climb on me a little, but that's about it. The other day I sat in the bathtub with them so they could run around and get used to my scent at the same time and today Greg and I made a makeshift rat playroom in the hallway of our apartment. We put a blanket down for the mess and blocked off the only exit. They ran around a while and climbed on us. And then one time for seriously fifteen minutes they sat in a corner and cleaned themselves, it was the cutest thing. They really make me smile. :)
