A dreamer of pictures,
I run in the night.
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon boys.

Awwwwwwwww. Say, how long do rats live? I know mice live about 1.5-2 years. (Socrates, the mouse in one of the above pics, lived about 1.5. She also had an anxiety disorder, lol. Which undoubtedly cut her life span a little shorter as well. Poor Socky.) :cry: :cry:

Rats usually live 2-3 years, though several of mine(I had 9) lived past the age of 5. They were an obsession of mine, and I would like to have a pair again. My Mom hates them, unfortunately, but they make wonderful pets!

Courtesy of my Rat book (Rats - Susan Fox), I used to have a pet rat, and I got this book for my birthday that year. I don't have any pics of Scuffy, I think she lived for about 6 years.

Currently I have a pet cat, also female, her name is Delta.

I have more pics of her on my blog, (recent entry).

I love that picture! The look on Kyra's face is priceless. It's as if she's saying "Ughh, the tennis ball again. How quaint."
