Dear Peter,
Hello lovely. How are you today? I hope, when you’re reading this, that you’re well, and comfy.
I remember that you guffawed when I told you, that I would one day name a rat after you!
“Coming from you, I’ll take that as a compliment!” you chuckled. You should take it as one, really, because rats really are super-duper awesome little beings. Well, today is that day! I’ve become mummy to a pair of new little boys: Peter Junior (PJ) and Jake.
I didn’t get many positive votes from the wider family about my new additions, which did make me a bit sad – but hey, as long as everyone in my household is happy – and they are – I guess that’s the main thing.
I have always been interested in ratties, ever since I was small. They just fascinate me; they’re so intelligent and curious, and so darn cute and loveable. These two were on an adoption site, and their former carer says that they’re a very tame and loving couple of guys. I’ll pop up some pics in a couple of days, once they’ve had chance to settle down.
In the meantime, here’s a photo of their big brother, Pippin. We adopted him from a shelter years ago, and he’s a big, soft, loveable goofball. He can be really daft, too; he’s eaten our sofa, and only today, he broke a dish. It’s a good thing we love him!
This is my first blog post ever! I hope it works out ok.
Love always,
Jay-Jay
