Aww, y’all have such gorgeous pets!
I
used to have three fancy rats and they were the sweetest pets in the world. My mother’s allergic to dogs and
cats, so I could only have smaller animals growing up. I’ve had just about every one you can think of, and rats
were by far the best. They’re smart, they’re clean, they’re sociable and they don’t smell, huzzah! When I
moved to Jersey, I had my two eldest, Clover and Merry-Cherry, flown over and I bought another one, Paris, over
here, and they were just amazing. Sadly, we found out my boyfriend was allergic to
them. He went on medication for a long time but it didn’t help, so we started looking for a bigger place –
which we found, but the landlord wouldn’t accept pets… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/youwhaaa.gif” alt=“o_0;;” title="You
Whaaa…" /> In the end, I had to give them to the animal
shelter. I was so upset, but they made me so happy over the years and I know they’re making someone else happy
now, too.
It’s my personal hope that when Ratatouille comes out, more people
will realise what great pets rats can be. They’re got a bad rep, but you won’t find a more devoted or playful
small pet. They’re like really little puppies! (Plus they’re easier to toilet train and teach tricks
to!)
