Really, all it takes is just an open mind and a willingness to believe that they're not vicious vermin out to spread disease to all humans. Besides, these aren't those kind of rats anyway -- domestic rats are born into a world where they get to know humans straight away and they are fastidiously clean animals. They make truly excellent pets. The <I>only</I> downsides are their short lifespans and tendency to chew -- but you can take precautions against the latter.<BR/><BR/>Tusk -- So far, Star is winning nearly 60% (59.18%) to just slightly over 40% (40.60%) for a cat in the second (and last) round. Obviously, it's not just us nor our friends voting. So, yeah, people must like the idea of a rat winning the title!<BR/><BR/>Pam -- Thank you so much. If we can ever return the favor for one of your ferrets (if a Baltimore paper holds such a contest and you enter it), then just let Sq. and I know!Nightdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370963631661800240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480856581015348377.post-49985508658530147162007-08-02T14:12:00.000+01:002007-08-02T14:12:00.000+01:00Star just got my vote.
