Rat Tales
The lady seated across from me in the crowded
vet's office stared, seemingly more out of disdain
than interest. I held the cage close to me on my
lap.
"Are those Ferrets?" she finally asked.
"No", I replied. "They are fancy rats".
I looked at the two balls of rat fur lying atop their
"house" and wondered if the lady had ever seen
a Ferret.
"Rats?" she echoed.
"Why would anyone want to keep rats?"
Smiling, I answered, "You would have to have
one as a companion to know."
It is my hope that this website will, at least in part,
answer the question...
Why would anyone want to keep rats as pets?
On the pages to follow you will meet three of my
rats who have a story to tell:
"Cassidy's Story....Life At The Bridge",
"Jasmine's Story" ...how I became a fancier, and
"Cinnamon's Story....Humble Beginnings".
The site will be constantly updated as it is a work
in progress.
Please come back often to see what has been
added.
So come take a walk with me and learn about one
of the fastest growing animals desired as
pets...and hopefully see why!

"Ben, the two of us need look no more
We've both found what we've been
searching for.
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me.
Ben, you're always running here and
there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere.
If you ever look behind
and don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go.
I used to say "I and me"
now it's "us", now it's "we".
I used to say "I and me"
now it's "us", now it's "we".
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say.
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
if they had a friend like Ben.
Like Ben.
Like Ben."

Many of us have found the
truth in these lyrics. Now
please meet Cassidy...my little
rat who came back to show
that life at the Rainbow Bridge
is much more than just a hope!
