Welcome home boys!

Tonight my friend Kim and her hubby Mark came over for dinner. While that was pretty good, my highlight of the evening, next to finally getting to hang out with Kim again, was getting my new "kids"! There was a rat dumped at an area shelter Kim used to work at, and she was lucky enough to foster the litter of amazingly gorgeous babies! As soon as we saw she had named them all with Boston Red Sox names, there was no saying no! lol

We adopted Dice-K Matsusaka (I have NO idea if I spelled that right!), Manny Ramirez, and Jason Varitek. Dice is a blue rex boy, Manny is a blue self, and Jason is a black self. They're SO friendly too! Tonight I was playing with them, and had a great time "wrestling" with Manny and Jason. Dice is a bit shyer than the other two, but I'm sure with some time, he'll warm right up. :)

Nate bought me their new rat cage as an early birthday present. It's a Midwest Ferret Nation, which is THE closest thing I've ever seen to the perfect rat cage! I sectioned it off so my current boys (Charlie, Henry and Finnegan) are up top, and the new boys are in the bottom section that has been screened in, since they're still small enough to fit through the bars. Once they're a bit bigger, they'll be introduced to the other boys and they'll all share the cage.

Pictures coming soon, but for now here's a pic of the cage, a pic of Charlie, and some older pics of the new guys. Enjoy!
