Then my parents finally gave into our complaints and let us get...pet rats! We had 3 rats, and I have to say, they had a lot of personality. They could also jump out of 3 foot tall garbage cans (which probably makes the idea of a pet rat even more terrible to you, but we were pretty impressed by their tricks). Luckily our rats didn't eat clothes like Lori's live-in-wall rat.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed decorating for the holiday season even if it is a fake tree!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261529488752294407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856422208388515286.post-76357939878066575732010-12-08T07:57:17.669-08:002010-12-08T07:57:17.669-08:00Lori, I do miss the smell of a real Christmas tree...Lori, I do miss the smell of a real Christmas tree, but what can you do? <br /><br />Hhmm, a pet rat for Kitty.....sorry no deal. It was a little strange that of all the animals she was tested for, the only one she wasn't allergic to is a rat?! My kids are growing up deprived-no pets. They can still play with the neighbor's dog from time to time. But it's just not the same as having a pet.

I didn't realize what I was missing until I went away to college and had a real tree for the first time. It was nice. <br />Andrea, you should love to have a pet rat. We had a huge rat that lived in the wall of the house that I lived in while I was in Tonga. The only bad thing is that sometimes it would eat my clothes!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879463289654257737noreply@blogger.com
