Happy Raturday!

 
This was one of my rats years ago, his name was Lucky.

This was another of my rats. Her name was Flower.

And this was grumpy Marbles. He always looked grumpy and it made me laugh. Some of my new readers might not have known that I had quite a few pet rats over the years too.

  6. I am enjoying seeing these lovely pets you have had. Grumpy just looked normal, like a human wanting more of something/anything, lol.

    1. Marbles didn't like to be held or petted either. He just wanted snacks and to come out and sit on the couch.

  13. I love the look back at your past pets—they are all so cute. Marbles is definitely the star of the show; that grumpy face is hilarious! I totally relate to his vibe—just give me the snacks and a spot on the couch and no one gets hurt.

    1. And he was always like that. He loved to come out and run around as long as I left him alone and gave him snacks.

    1. Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe if you come back each Monday and see how sweet they can be, you'll like them more and get over your fear of them.
