I realize I keep saying I am returning to blogging, but I truely think I am this time. I want to share a picture of the animal that rescued me. (I rescued my dog Shyann, my itty bitty dog Minnie rescued me). Is she the most beautiful dog you have ever seen? She has brought me so much joy since my husband died. And she has really GOOD hearing. I love her so much. She is my shadow. She follows me everywhere I go in the house. Once I stepped on her foot and she screamed so loud that she broke a blood vessel in her eye. Thank God her foot was OK. She was 1/2 pound when I got her and I had to put a sign on my front door: "Please Do The Minnie Shuffle". Do not pick up your feet when you walk in my house. Shuffle-slide your feet when you walk. And: "NO, IT IS NOT A RAT, IT'S MINNIE" If you have read my previous posts you know I loved my pet rats: Popeye-my one eyed rat and Horehey-I just liked the saying his name. They passed away last summer. Rats as well as other rodents don't live long. Thats so sad. They were awesome pets. Very loving, never tried to bite me. They would lick me just like a dog. Popeye's surgery to remove his eye that was chewed out by a bad ummm... evil bi-polar rat cost $400.00 dollars! He was a gift to me from from my daughter Nicole who gave him to me for Christmas and she had to sign papers saying she would not feed him to a snake. I would love to hear about your favorite animals. My old cat Kokomo is 18 yrs old and thinks she is a dog. She won't use her litter box- she will only use puppy pads. And she only eats dog food. I swear when she meows it sounds like a dog barking. I'm thinking she has multiple personalities. Stay tuned. I have a lot more info to share!
I must explain that the evil bi-polar rat was Popeyes roommate. Most pet rats- (not sewer rats!), are amazing pets. The evil rat that attacked Popeye and took his eye out is not normal pet rat behavior. The vet was able to save Popeyes life by sewing his missing eye socket closed.
