The Rattic

It may return in future if the new generation feel like blogging, or it may remain untouched as a tribute to those lost.

Today a good thing happend. THERE WAS WITE STUF ON THE GROWND THAT ONLY COMES WUNS A YEER CALLD SNOW.

( I LOVE SNOW! )

Snow is gud!

EXEPT

Wen I went out for walkies in the park there was a littel person MADE OF SNOW!!! And it had STICKS for arms!! It was REELY REELY SCARY so I BARKED AT IT LOTS and wudnt go neer it. THAT WIL SHOW IT IT CANT HURT ME. I do not understand y mummy was larfing at me. :(

Today mummy took me to the v-e-t because I have a sore bit on my big lump. And I was SO GOOD! I didn't do any puddles or smelly messes on the table or on the v-e-t or on mummy or even in my travel box, even though I had just woken up! I got admired in the waiting room by a nice person with noisy cats, and then the nice v-e-t lady said hello and she remembered me from last time I was there and gave me scritches. And I was really really good and let her poke me and prod me as long as mummy was holding me.

The v-e-t said my lumps look very nasty and the sore bit is from where the lump has got too big for my skin and made the skin open up. She prescribed me some baytril so it doesn't get infected and some steroid tablets in case it hurts me, which means YAY MORE YOGHURT YAY! :DDD And she told mummy that she did the right thing not having the lump removed when it was small because it's cancerous and they would have had to remove my whole 'mammary strip' which is dangerous and hurty and I probably wouldn't have lived this long (and also bad because I LOVE MY NIPPLES!), so mummy is not allowed to feel guilty about it any more.

Also she said I look really bright and happy and shiny even though I am very old and I have all these horrible nasty lumps and stuff. I could tell she was very impressed! And she said she could see how special I am, and that I obviously have a very special bond with mummy and love and trust mummy very much. And I held mummy's finger and boggled lots, and mummy went all wibbly and gave me kisses. ♥

And then we got my medicine and the receptionist admired me and stroked me and gave me some dog biscuits. And then I made a nice warm nest in my hot water bottle cover on the way home and went to sleep. Mummy says she is very very proud of me for being such a good girl, and everybody loves me so much. Yes. I am special.

Mummy sed sumwone wud like theez pictyurs of me (+ Nessa!)

I LIKE PEES AND EE-EM-PEE.

This week has been HORRIBUL!

First mummy put the new babys on the sofa with me and thay squeeked and I got told off! I only huffed at bit! Not fare! :(

AND THEN mummy put the babys in MY CAGE with MY GIRLS and she put me in the little tiny baby cage were is is BORING (I only like if when I am not SUPOSED to be in it!) and made me stay in there for DAYS! Just like last time wen the twins moved in but EVEN LONGER! And I tried to go home when she let me out for playtime but she wudnt let me! And all the babys was on the sofa squeeking at me! D:

So I was very sad and wudnt talk to her and went on a hungry strike and made mummy feel GILTY. HAH.

AND THEN she put me back in MY CAGE, YES, but the igloo wasnt there and all the little ones were screeming and crying at me (even the twins who I lived with befor!) and fiting eech other and the little white curly one kept BITING MY HEAD, HOW DARE SHE???? And I was REELY REELY GUD and ignord them and didn't even huff AT ALL but mummy STILL wudnt let me stay home and she put me back in the littel cage AGEN! DDDDDD:

And then mummy was all sad wich SERVES HER RITE FOR BEING MEEN and then she put me on the sofa with GABBY! EVIL GABBY! And I has met Gabby befor so I know she's nasty so I got redy to fite her and I huffed and kicked her lots but she just lay there and lookd all old and week and mummy got cross and took me away agen! I DONT UNDERSTAND! GABBY IS EVIL! IT WAS A TRIK, SHE WAS GOING TO HURT ME! DDD:

Y DO I ALWAYS GET TOLD OF JUST BECUS I'M THE BIGGEST WUN? I A GUD BOY!

SO THEN I was still in the littel cage BUT FINALY mummy put me back in my big cage and the babys didnt screem quite so much that time so she let me stay there for the nite! And I was scared that mummy wud take me away agen the next day but it has been a few days now and I think she is letting me stay there so YAY! I AM HOME!

I gess it wil be nise having littel sisters to play with tho. Thay seem fun! Does this meen i a grown up now?

Also i luv Adric.

Was this a good post thing? I r new at this.

MORE?! D:

Kitty went to sleep and I culdnt make her wake up again! :(

I am sad. I love Kitty. Kitty is my best frend! And Tosh. I miss Tosh. And Willow a bit. And my bruther. Why do all my frends keep going away? I don't understand! D:

And mummy is sad and scared and I have to look after these babies all by myself exept Piper is helping me with the nest bilding wich is good. She is never allowd to go away.

It has been very sad round here reesently so mummy says it is my job to bring sum happy. Y would she chooz me for that?

Anyways I cant think of much happy stuff for reesons what I will explane later but come to think of it there is 1 happy thing: Piper and Kitty moved back home! They was in the funny short cage with Willow for a wile but Piper was homesick so she moved back in with me (yay, she is nice to lye on) and Kitty dusnt care were she lives so she came home to. I LIKE KITTY. SHE MY BEST FREND. :D So that is happy I gess.

But mostly I am VERY CROSS. You want to no why? Becus a few weeks ago, THIS HAPPUND:

( Fotos! )

Willow got a nasty brain thingy too and she went all wobbly and had to go to the v-e-t and go away, like Tosh. :((( It is not fair, everyone is going away and I don't like it! Mummy is sad and Kitty is sad and I am sad and maybe Adric too even (mainly he is just cross right now).

I will miss Willow. I liked having nest-building-wars with her. ♥ I hope it is nice where she and Tosh are now. Willow can hoard food there as much as she wants, and then there'll be plenty for me to eat when I go to join them (but not yet, I like it here with mummy)! :D

Mummy took me to the v-e-t with Willow to show me off to the scary person who made my lump go away the first time. I have a fan club! Because I am awesome! So I ate Willow's cucumber and then ate cardboard to make it known how absolutely STARVING I was because mummy never feeds me see!!! and made a puddle on the big scary table. But at least I was there to give mummy a hug when she was sad. I'm a good cuddly girl I am.

Tosh's brain tumour got worse and today she went to the Bridge. ;__; Mummy is sad and I am very very sad because Toshi was my bestest friend. Willow has moved into my retirement cage with me now but it's not the same. She keeps moving my nest, hmph.

I hope it is nice at the Bridge without your nasty brain thingy, Tosh. With cheese and stuff. Don't eat all the pasta though, I want some when I come to join you (not for a long time yet please, mummy says). ♥

Yesterday was my half-birthday! I am two and a half! Mummy says this makes me the oldest rat she has ever had. Yay! I are a winner! I got biscuit and EMP which was supposed to be for Tosh, nom nom nom.

Mummy has moved me and Tosh into the funny low cage that Ginny went in when she was poorly, because we can't get around much now and Adric is being a pest. Tosh is even more wobbly than me. Mummy says she has a brain tumour, which is bad and we are very upset because we love Tosh. D:

But anyway I guess this cage is ok even though I miss the big one. I have my favourite old igloo and my purple bell thing and my friend Tosh to snuggle with and, most importantly, a nice big bowl of food! Yay!

Also, my friend malfoy sent us some very special presents, and mummy took lots of videos of us all having fun with them and put the best bits together for you to see! I was more interested in food, because FOOD IS MOAR BETTAR, but there is an extra special bit at the end...


(Mummy says: The babies had half a green thing each too, which they seemed to enjoy (they are right little piglets, these two!), though I didn't manage to film it. There should be a bit of everyone else ion the video, though. Plus I have a ton of outtakes of Piper being unccooperative which upload as well if you want. ;) I am just so, so happy that I got the finger-grab on video, omg! ♥ Oh, and although she was rather uninterested in the ball here I did find it in the nest with her and Tosh this morning, so one of them seems to like it, at least. :D)

Why are these annoying little wriggly things attacking me? I only wanted their EMP! D:

!!!

OMG! WAT IS IT? WERE DID THEY COME FROM?

I R CONFYOOSD.

OMG! 0_0

Adric keeps stealing my food.

JUST BECAUSE I AM AN OLD LADY NOW IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE.

WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. D:

At least Piper can still put him back in his place by sitting on him. I guess she is useful sometimes after all... I do wish she wouldn't ruin my nice nests though. Hmph.

Yesterday was my sisters' and my birthday! We are TWO, can you believe it? Someone needs to explain to Kitty that this means she is an old lady now. She doesn't get it. Silly girl.

ANYWAY, we got a muffin with candles and ferretvite. :D
