Ok, first, photos are coming soon! I promise, this week.
Next, my Angora finally has a name, well, he has for about a weeknow. He is Reese (r-E-s not like the candy bar).
Now, I just had to share this story, because it's too cute. Ithink most everyone knows I have rats and they live in the critter roomwith my buns and ferrets. Well, what could have been adisaster was really a great story. When I was away lastnight, 3 of my rats escaped. When I came home tonight, I setabout capturing them. I captured Bruce and Will very quickly,but Harry is always more aloof. He sat and watched meintently while I sat on the floor with a treat calling his name, butwhen I would go for him, he ran back under the furniture he was pokingout from. Finally, I gave up and left. I decided ifthey were going to visit the ferrets and have a problem or any of mygirl rats, it would have happened by then. (Thankfully, Idon't think they could have reached the ferret cage and the girl ratsare above their cage, so they never thought to go visit them andreproduce -- at least I'm praying not -- and the buns must not havecared about their presence.) I had to go back in one moretime to try to get him, I stood there and he wandered out and stood byBasil's cage and stuck his head in and drank from her waterbottle. She just looked at him, like, ok, you canshare. I was laughing so hard. I know that rodentscan be a problem, but I also know that since these guys are my pets,they are healthy.
As for the rats, Bruce has a scratch on his head, probably from one ofthe humane traps they set off, but are too big to fit in, as they aredesigned to catch any mice who might try to take upresidence. But everyone else is just fine. AndHarry won't be sharing any more water as he is now safely back underlock down!
