Stubborn rats.

our rats are ridiculously stubborn!
I was trying to eat dinner as I let them out of the cage, and of course, that was rather difficult. if Nixon smells something she wants, she won't stop pursuing it until it's either given to her or it's gone. I was sitting here by the desk with my rice and my soda and she would not stop climbing up here. and when I'd move away with my food, she'd follow me. I was standing up and both her and Garbo were on the bed and they both "attacked" me by using my skirt as a climbing post. I survived with my dinner. the ladies got to lick my bowl after I had finished eating from it.


I think the rats know the word "treat". or the phrase "come get treat", because after I was done eating, and the rats had gone under the bed to do their rat stuff, I was calling them. they are very selective about listening to their names, so I've tried to teach them to associate words with things. like "treat" every time I'm bringing out treats. and when I told them to come get the treats, they both came out :o good job ratties!

also, I think Nixon just got another scab :( she was fine for a few days :/ oh well. looks like we're going to the vet then.
