New Buddies

New buddies are always fun. Cause you can pick on them. But these two were not going to get bullied. :) Which was fine with me because I like the new buddies. They are older, quieter but they are fun, simply because buddies are always fun.

Radar and Isabelle have moved in with us. I knew it was going to happen because everyday we were meeting them for playtime. Isabelle wasn't too happy and wouldn't let anyone go near her, she's not like that anymore.  Radar would chill with us in the boot. The boot is our big toy with holes. We love the boot and so does Radar.

So after a week of us meeting, playing and resting with the new buddies, Ma gave us a bigger home. It's huge! We had two rooms before, now we have three and the coolest thing, it opens up on the main floor. It's got so many things too like two hanging runabout balls, lots of hammocks and cubes too. There is a place for all of us to either cuddle or to be alone.

Ma likes to keep our home clean, even though we try real hard to dirty it. I like bits of fleece and bits of wood chews strewn about. I think it looks fashionable that way. Not to mention paper towels, we have to have paper towels even if it's to drag it around to different sleeping spots but you have to be careful, cause if you don't keep a paw on your paper towel, some else is going to get it. ;)

The Happy Life

I have to say, life is good again. I'm even buddies with Davis. At first, it was hard, not with Davis but with Jorge. But then Jorge had a date with a scalpel and he became a real buddy. But Davis, woa, we had to get out of his way. He even tried to bite Ma, not once but three times! That didn't go over good. Ma was happy that he didn't bite down but still, I mean, you don't bite the hand that feeds you, or the hand that cuddles you, or the hand that feeds you, did I say that already? A hand, that's for licking cause they taste so salty, and those nails, what's the deal with the nails? I don't get why they need those? I try to pry them off each time but Ma won't let me finish the job.  Now where was I? Oh ya, Davis... it was his turn to meet the nutcracker and now, he's my buddy. He's so happy too, hops everywhere, he no longer walks or crawls, or runs, he just hops. I try and play with him, like you know, wrestling, and he just hops away. I go to talk to him and he hops away, sometimes he comes back ...but only to hop away again. Ya, it can get annoying. But when he's sleepy, I can crawl into the hammock and cuddle up to him. I love my new buddy Davis. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing all the ratties and their moms and dads a happy rattie love day.

When you think about it, I think this day was actually made for us ratties. I mean, who else can you cuddle, kiss and pet incessantly? Ok so ya, all furry pets but I'm talking rats in particular. We are love and it's all we ask back. That and yummy food. Ya, can't forget the food cause we need that to live. Yep yep yep, love my rat blocks, my broccoli, my kale, my blueberries. So see, lots of love, so Valentine's day is made for us.

Besides... I look utterly ridiculous in the getup. So I need to convince myself, it's all about me baby.

*grumble grumble* I better get a grape for this humiliation.

You lost what Captain?

The last of the dudes got caught. Was sent away to lose his jiggles. Captain was done today. He’s not back with the colony yet, he’s probably enjoying his soy milk. Why is it we only get soy milk when we feel under the weather. I’ll have to ask Ma next time.
On a side note, I’m feeling great. I just don’t know what it is but I am so happy and I love everyone, and I mean everyone, even Davis! I love Ma, she knows exactly how to make me jump and hop. She calls it pop corning but that’s just not fair cause, I think I’d like to eat that. It sounds like a delicious treat. I don’t miss my jiggles, I really thought I would but I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me. I don’t care about the girls anymore either. Of course I care in that I have so much fun playing with them. Nessie is a lot happier with me, before I kept running after her, trying to smell her umm, privates (how embarrassing) and I just can’t believe how rude I was.
Anyway… hang in there Captain, and if you can, please bring back some soy milk with you when you rejoin the colony tomorrow. But don’t tell Ma. ;)

Owie!

Not good… not good at all. I’m groggy, I’m tired and most of all, my jiggle parts hurt. I’m in a nice comfy cage with my bro Boo, he’s not happy either. He’s sleeping a lot. I should do the same but I thought it would be good for me to let you all know that I’m alive, I’m awake although not for long and that I have lost my jiggles. My beautiful bouncy jiggles. I don’t feel any different though, Ma says it’s much too soon for that.
Hey, at least I got soy milk. Delicious and creamy and oh so sweet… oh wait, ow..ow, I’m in such pain. *slurp slurp* Ma, I need more soy milk!!
