Sleepy and Cute Rattie Pile

I just think it's so cute when they squish into a pile.

Happy Birthday Canada!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Where are the rat books?

Remi: All I see are bird and nature books! There's even dog books and we don't have a dog! Something is wrong here...



Luna: Mom where are the rat books?!



Emma: Oh wait! I think I spotted some rat books on the next shelf: Training Your Pet Rat by Gerry Buscis & Barbara Somerville; Rats: Complete Care Made Easy by Debbie Debbie Ducommun; Rat: How the World's Most Notorious Rodent Clawed its Way to the top by Jerry Langton; and More Cunning than Man: A complete history of the rat and its role in human civilization by Robert Hendrikson. There's not much there, however. Does anyone have more suggestions?

Rest in Peace Chmurka

One of our favourite hamsters passed away. We have never known a hamster quite like her. She was one of a kind. Chmurka we will miss you.

The Rattie Crew

Why, why, why?!?!

WARNING: This is a heartbreaking video but people should be aware of Petsmart and Petco's horrible reputation for animal neglect and abuse. For more information visit Peta. More cruelty that I can't understand!

Raven: First, thank you The Fluffy Tribe Ratz and Miss Steffy for the great suggestions on hiding the awful taste of Baytril! Mom tried both of your ideas and I'm much more cooperative plus I get a tasty treat! I'm also beginning to feel much better. But, poor Oliver is still not very well and has also been put on Zithromax. Poor guy.



Remi: One of mom's co-workers said I would fit perfectly in a horror movie because I look so creepy. I was very insulted. Mum, however, assures me that I'm the most handsome Dumbo birk boy around! I'll take mom's word any day.




On a side note, mom went for an interview on Friday with the university trying to recruit her and it went very well. They were impressed with mum's research and mum was very pleased with their institution and offer. But, she will have to be interviewed a second time by some committee before any final decisions are made.
