Sly the family rat!!!
Yesterday a friend of ours told us how smart rats are. We had been considering buying a hamster, but changed our minds in favor of a rat. Mom and I went out to Petsmart today and picked up this little beauty.
Dad doesn’t even know about her yet. But he’ll find out when he reads this post…
Ciao for now!

Arrrgh! Not pleased!
My requests for a smart, affectionate dog – submitted for approval – are always declined. Yet this critter is brought in without even a “by your leave”? Also, one of the reasons a dog has been turned down is because we didn’t want to be tied down with pets if we traveled. So now, if we want to go to Spain, we have to ask people, “Do you mind watching my RAT?”
If rats are so smart, I better be seeing some quality posting from it here, pronto.
Sure boss, want me to write about anything in particular? Prose? Poetry?
Oh, by the way, since we’re already talking. One word: Brie.
Sly, I don’t know if I’d trust that Brie!
Turn-about is fair play. I think the NW should come home some day soon with an exotic pet of his own…..perhaps a Boa Constrictor?
That trip to Spain? No problem! Snakes can go for days without eating! An occasional rodent should do the trick!
What do you get when 3000 hippies camp out on Burma Lane?
Sly and the family STONED ! ! ! !
(somebody shoot me, I’m out of control ! )
My only experience with rats was during Psych lab in college. Foghat could possibly have been the only rat in history that couldn’t find his way through a maze. Then, during finals, when he had to perform, he pulled his head out from where the sun don’t shine and made it through clean. My partner and I took back everything we ever said about him.
Just throw in a couple pounds of Purina Rat Chow and one of those continuous water devices and he’ll be fine for a week or so.
you need a cat.
soon.
Gino~ I like kittehs!
We kan haz rattatouille?
Ahem. Just because you stick me in the pigloo doesn’t mean I can’t see what you write. I’ve got wifi.
Hayden, thanks for the tip on the brie; I’ll test it on the birds.
Mr. Writer, no you can not has cheezburger.
That is all.
I know of two 3-year old labs that are looking for a home. Could have had those for free.
And I’d be willing to watch labs for you. A Rat? Not a chance.
But Kevin, rats make for such great target practice! Perhaps we can set Sly up with a mate. It would be educational and a never ending source of moving targets! Anybody have a .17 HMR ?
You both stay away from my rat, or things will not go well with you. I promise. *evil grin*
Ohhh good point Heathen Brother….Prairie dogs are a bit out of season right now….I could probably practice on the rat instead.
Oh, nice. Give the rat warning. You ain’t the only one with 2nd amendment rights.
I’d be willing to pay in order to see a rat trying to hold onto a mouse-gun without opposable thumbs.
Sweet, I’ll shoot Kevin and make a profit doin’ it.
Okay, Sly, let’s talk about rent…
