rat treasures.

our rats - just like many other rats love to steal things.
of course - they don't think they're stealing anything.


here are some items that they've attempted to steal lately that have been on the no-no list:
+ Robert's check book
+ my math homework
+ my sociology notes
+ my tax papers
+ Robert's pay stubs
+ a cd cover I was making for a friend (which later appeared on the floor. I have no idea how it got there because I thought I took it away from Nixon so I'm sure she had something to do with it!)
+ Robert's boxers
+ my underwear
+ Robert's shoe (Garbo was determined she could drag a heavy shoe under the bed)

certain things I let them take. like old papers/notes or empty paper. sometimes I let them take trash because I know that we're just gonna grab it later and throw it away. Nixon has started to export her nesting materials from the cage :o
she'll go in the cage and grab a piece of paper and run around with it in her mouth until she figures out where to put it. often she hides these pieces of paper under my stuffed polar bear (which is her favorite hiding place on the bed) and I'll have to go through the bed before going to bed at night because there might be some Nippy treasures on there.

rats are out right now and being good. Nixon's excited and running around like crazy. she ran into my slipper earlier.

they both have extremely soft fur and tails right now. I think it's the new food. Nixon started bruxing with excitement this morning when I went to feed them :D

I must tend to Garbo now. she looks like she's about to jump up in my robe (it's hanging from the closet door). she loves to grab on to it and climb up. she's crazy.
