April 2008


Its nice today and I aim to spend some sunning on the front porch. We have been inside the house all winter long, mind you it was a comfortable winter, but still we were inside. I have grown up over these last few months and I need to see the world from a manrats point of view.
The uncles are a bit more frail this spring, I see the worry on moms face every time she weighs us. I weighed 580 grams this morning and mom says I am going to be a fine adult, worthy of my name. I think its time I set a few of my family members stright, Boo is a bully and tries to pick on everyone. Even more frail, Wembley still wont tolerate his trying to get to big for his britches. I dont even put up with him. Fes has slowed way down, still talking, but less playful. I think they might all just be getting older and tired more easily. Still they cuddle and share wonderful food with me. We have been getting alot more fresh veggies and lots of good food. We eat salad with oils, get crusts of breads and tasty soft fried eggs. Mom even makes us sweet dishes and makes sure the unlces are eating enough. Vroobert lost both his brothers this winter and he seems a little lonlier, even though they didnt live with us. I think he might miss them, somehow he might know they are gone. Mom is talking about babies later this Spring, that there might be some new little kids in the cage. I suppose time will tell. Until then I will keep doing what I always have…being cute.

Chubbs

These last few months have been busy and painful, full of drama and worry. I have never had so many ups and downs in such a short period of time. I lost a much loved family member unexpectantly, my husband lost his job..again without warning and my beloved old cat had to leave me for the bridge.
Its been a difficult ride on lifes rollercoaster.

Things are quiet now, life is trying to steady out and let me out of the cart..I dont like rollercoasters.

The boys are all fine, everyone fat and sassy.

Sadly Vroo lost his other brother the end of March. I worry more for him now than ever. Such wonderful little beasts.

The weather promises change, maybe some warmth. Hopefully the boys will be sunning on the front porch with me soon.
