New members of our "little" family





Crazy?--Oh yeah, but Jillian has expressed an interest in having a pet and we have been holding it over hers and Jenna's head....Jill proved to me that she is responsible enough (and always has been---I just wanted to hassle her and get some cleaning done---I'm bad, I know) and Jenna has been having some toilet success....of course there's more to that story that won't be on the blog....Anyway, the girls went to Critters Pet Shop in Allen Park and picked out these sweet little baby rats. Those who know me well know that I grew up with rats as pets and had one until adulthood...they have a bad reputation, but really are sweet, affectionate critters. Jenna and Nate adore them...Jillian loves to pet them and talk to them, but is nervous holding them... They aren't used to people and tend to run all over. It scared Jill the first time she held one. so I have been spending time every day holding them, trying to socialize them a bit...Anyway, Jenna's rat is Cha-cha and is black and white...Pipsqueak is Jillian's critter and is the tan and white one...
