New additions

What else to do on a Saturday when it's too late to hit the trails? Stop by the pet store to ogle the critters of course.

Ross and I have been contemplating rats for a while now. We actually went to PetSmart last week to price out everything we would initially need. We made the mistake of stopping by there again today and fell in love the the litter they currently had available.

We oohed and aahed and watched them play around a while. And left, trying to avoid making any hasty decisions.

But in the end, we returned that evening and chatted up one of the rat enthusiasts working that day. She opened the cage to let us interact with the rodents. Two immediately caught our eye and we fell in love.

So now we have two additions to our family: Evey and Marla Singer, two fancy rats.

Pictures are forth coming, of course. But in the meantime, we're letting them settle in and get used to the new surroundings.
