The Rattic

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.

( Merry Christmas )

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.

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:

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

( No videos this time, but epic photospam! )

Mummy says I am fat!

Actually this is true but I am an old lady and I have lumps, I am allowed to be fat! It doesn't matter if I can't run... and my tummy scrapes on the floor... anyway, I won't let them take my FOOD away so mummy and grandma are making me climb the stairs to get treats. Whaaaaaaaaat. NOT FAIR.

WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME??? IT IS HARD WORK AND UNDIGNIFIED! D:



Oh well. At least I get a yoggie when I get to the top.

Also I like to help mummy with the shiny box. And I chatter lots because I a happy girl. Except when they make me climb stairs.

I'm sorry this is so late. Mummy has been away with the shiny box. But here is a happy birthday message for my dear admirer.

I hope you can hear my whistling!



Mummy says you are 25. That is very very old. :o I hope you had a good birthday. Did you get a muffin and crayons? Can I have some?

Yesterday was my second birthday! I am two years old! I think that is old but I don't feel old at all. A bit fat, though...

ANYWAY, so guess what I got today? LOTS OF FOOD! :D Mummy got me a banana muffin for my birthday! Hooray!

And even better, guess what she put on it instead of candles?

No, go on, guess...

WAX CRAYONS!!!

Just like Miney's birthday muffin! :D I love Miney! I LOVE WAX CRAYONS! :D:D:D




And I got lots of cuddles and fuss, too! I A HAPPY GIRL! BIRTHDAYS IS GOOD!

( Lots and lots and lots of photos, because it is my birthday and I should be worshipped even more! )

I like you, malfoy! Because of you I get lots of food while mummy points the shiny thing in my face for you to see me! HOORAY THANK YOU! FOOD IS GOOD!

SEE HOW I NOM NOM NOM


(Mummy says: LOOK, IT'S THE BOGGLY EYES IN MOTION! Thought you'd enjoy this. Lulz, see how her ears wobble when she eats? Most flexible dumbo ears EVAR. And that crash was Kitty knocking the lid off a box. The way Piper's ears go up at that absolutely cracks me up. XD I did try to get her to give the camera kisses for you - she does sometimes - but she just wanted more popcorn. Typical.)

Well that is because food is much more important!

But my ears are awesome, yes.

Hello nice people who love me! I am Hakuna Matata Piper. I live in a big house somewhere with my friends Willow and Kitty and Tosh and Adric and Nos (and Gabby used to be my friend but she's not any more 'cos she bites my ears, I have new friends and they are nicer to me!) and my Mummy sasha_lilyrat and Uncle Sam and Grandma and Grandad and the Big Stupid (I see he already did a post. How rude. Don't worry, mostly it will be just us ratties here. We can spell better. Most of us. Maybe not the boys).

Mummy made us have this journal to talk about our lives and show you the things that don't go on her art account. And I am posting first (the Big Stupid doesn't count, ok) because I AM THE BESTEST.

Mummy says there is someone called malfoy who really really loves my big eyes. That's why mummy is always sticking the flashy thing in my face, it is for my admirer to see me! It's true that I am very beautiful and you are right to worship me, so here is some photos of me and my gorgeous blue eyes for you, mystery person.

See how gorgeous I am? Now give me FOOD.

Love from Piper xxx
