With Vermin Under The Tree

The problem with rats--they don't live very long. So every few years, we are having our rats' first Christmas. This year, they got yogurt drops filled with berries.

It took 4 photo shoots before we got a good photo of them for the holiday card. These are some outtakes from the third one.

Hang on, we're getting comfortable

You will note the dashing new cozy cup they have. The clever marketing folks as Superpet have come out with a new line of designer cozy cups. The Serene One had to restrain me from purchasing the entire line. The new ones are all lined in white, so your brunette critters can show up more clearly. This one has sides with nice green, white and pink striping, and the bottom is pink with little polka dots.

While we're on the subject of rodents, I must point you to this fantastic site of rats playing different musical instruments. Thanks to Waltzing With Widgets for the pointer!
