Home with the ratties.

so we're back from our trip and the ratties seemed really excited to have their family back :D
they knew immediately that mommy was back and came up to me and sniffed my hands and later, without hesitating, climb inside the sleeves of my robe for a stroll around the apartment.

Sarah took great care of them and let them out a little too and spent time with them. time we didn't even expect her to spend with them. so a big thank you to Sarah for being an excellent first time rat sitter :) Nixon wasn't that excited about Sarah, however. she told us that Nixon bit her fingers every time she tried to hold her. Garbo isn't much of a biter so she was nicer to her.

we like to give the ratties a day to adjust to us being back home after each trip, so the only time they got to leave the cage today was when I'd pick them up or let them crawl in my sleeves. tomorrow is a new day and I'm thinking we'll continue playing with water. the ratties deserve some extra fun now that I'm home again :)
