OK!  I'll email you an order.  No rush.  Enjoy vacation!

I am a fan of cuteoverload.com too! I can only handle "icanhas" if I try really really hard not to be annoyed at the grammar. (I know bad grammar is the point but I can't take it sometimes!)

 
OMG! I thought I was the only person that was annoyed my the grammer. LOL!!!  thank you for not making me feel like i'm the only person to be annoyed by horrible grammer.

If you can help, please reply to:

There were a lot of rats dropped off at the Western PA Humane Society, Western Ave, on the North Side (on July 1).

Latest information:

Lindsay went down to examine the 10 girls left there.
-All are about 6 months old
-All are extremely friendly, one or two back up when you try to pick them up, the other eight can't wait to come out into your arms and are extremely relaxed - all will make very nice pets
-Three black and white hoodies, seven PEWS.
-So far only one that might be pregnant, the rest too soon to tell
-All seem healthy
-All treated with Revolution for the inevitable mites ( by us)
We would love to get them adopted out. If someone wants to take a chance on a litter, I can make arrangements for adoption, otherwise the Humane Society is holding them for 3 weeks to make sure there are no surprise litters.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Best regards,
Lindsay

Lindsay's earlier announcement to her yahoogroup (July 2):

Hi Members,
There were a lot of rats dropped off at the Western PA Humane Society, Western Ave, on the North Side, yesterday.
 
We have some out in foster care already, but I have an urgent question for all of you. There are a number of young adult females that were brought to the rescue in a tank with males. We all know how fertile they are - there are enough of them ( 11) and I have way too many left from the Uniontown rescue at this point, to consider taking them in and raising the babies.
 
I hate to tell you what needs to be done with any babies that are born, but I know you understand the hard decisions that have to be made. Dr. Mike is on board to make sure things are done correctly. The adult females will be residing at the WPHS until we can find homes for them.
 
My question, as I hate putting little ones down - are there any of you out there who might be interested in having ( please translate KEEPING FOREVER)   a family of rats, Moms to live with daughters, sons to be separated and kept permanently also?
 
I have done this three or four times and it is so rewarding to know that the family is living like their nature intended, Moms living out their lives with their daughters, sons living separately as a band of brothers.
 
I must emphasize that we would only be willing to do this for someone who fully intends to keep all offspring, as the rat rehoming market here in Pittsburgh is pretty tapped out - and we still have rats from the Uniontown rescue to place that are residing with your overworked president here, plus other foster homes. We don't want to add to the "adoption needed" population.
 
Please let me know if there are any of you who may have the caging, space and money to support potentially a family of 20 or so rats (you never know how many of course, could be less). that way we could save at least some of them.
 
The adult females will be adopted out regardless.
 
Just wanted to check.
 
thanks
Lindsay

I"ve had a couple of incidents where someone fell off something and it looked like one of those 'omg there's no way she didn't get hurt' falls(like hitting something on the way down). Most of the time they brush it off like nothing ever happened. Sometimes it does freak them out a bit though. Perhaps your girl is bruised and in a bit of pain. I"d watch her very very carefully and if her behavior doesn't change in reasonable time, inspect her closely or have a vet check her over for signs of internal/external injuries.

I'm so sorry to hear about Apollo.

All of these are top ears.

The Debbie Duccomon Rat Health Care booklet, updated annually, is a must have for rat emergency and health care, IMO. It's only about $10 and well worth the cost. You can get it from her website at The Rat Fan Club. Another favorite is Training Your Pet Rat by Gary Buscis. Much of the book is actually about taking good care of your rat, but it's good information, and important to keeping healthy rats so they are trainable.

Okays not.
My rats' grandpa came to me today.
He is going to be 1 years old soon, and my boys gladly accept him (They knew him).
&& surprisingly, he is smaller.

They were in a hamster cage when I took this photo cos' I was trying to take a photo of them together as my digital camera spoil ages ago.
Using my phone cam for this .


He is alot smaller.

I came across a thread like this from 2003, and really liked it, so I'm going to restart it.


- I will not wear skirts.
- I can't stand ketchup, even watching other people eat food with ketchup makes me nauseous.
- I only lock the bathroom door when I'm home alone. Especially when I'm taking a shower.
- I hate baths, and haven't took one for years.
- I've never had a real boyfriend, that doesn't bother me one bit, either.
- I won't wear tanktops in public, unless I have a hoodie over it.
- I have to have a blanket over my feet at night, even if I'm too hot.
- My radio is always on, even when I'm sleeping.
- I hate Maroon 5, I don't know why. I just cannot stand them.
- I looooove the smell of dryer vents. mmmm.
- I eat everything with forks, even icecream or soup. I just hate spoons.
- I hate dancing, and will not do it.
- I feel naked without my hoodie, socks, and cell phone.
- I hate bare feet, but I like feet with socks on.
- My pinky toes are bent over the toe next to them. So are my mom's.
- I spend hours at a time on-line reading about animals, usually animals I will never own, but wish I could. (skunks, bobcats, raccoons, etc.) Everyone thinks that is crazy because they are IMing eachother or shopping for trendy clothes.
- I have my eyebrow pierced, but I'm not 'the type that would have an eyebrow ring'. I like them, so I got one.
- I never want kids. I love my pets, they are the best kids I could ever have.
- I won't wear sunglasses, I'd rather squint.
- I can't do dishes without disposable gloves, and I inspect every clean dish before I use it. (yet I work at a dog grooming shop and have no problem with cleaning dog poop, puke, or expressing anal glands.)
- Like I said above, I can clean up animal puke, but If I see or smell human puke, I gag.
- I can't touch raw meat.
- The AnimalPlanet show 'Animal Cops' or whatever its called makes me cry every time.
- I won't eat meat unless it's boneless, and cooked completely, then sometimes I still wont eat it.
- I don't like juice, especially orange, grape or apple. But I do like Sunny D. (yeah, weird.)
- I chew my straws into pieces after I'm done with them.
- It's really bothering me that so many of these start with 'I', and that this is getting so long, but I keep thinking of things to add.
- I often think things right before someone says it. Like, if I'm talking to someone, I say what they are about to say, in my head. I can't explain it.
- I realllllly wish I was homeschooled, so I could work more.
- My favorite ring is made from a yellow zip-tie, my favorite necklace is made out of green coated paperclips, and I love them more than any real jewelry I own.



So, what makes you weird?

I am SO glad you like it! I would love some pictures to see and add to my "satisfied customers" page, if that would be alright. 

Julz: Yup, I have black. I can get almost any color, even if you don't see it on the site or on here. I am actually leaving in about 2 seconds to go on vacation and will not be back until next Sunday. Ill bring the pink with me and make up a pink DD while im on the plane; I needed a new one to do anyhow. lol.

Check and see if there is a powder-coating company in your area.  They can sand-blast and re-powder-coat an old cage.  Places that make trailers (like for horses) or do anything related to race cars could probably refer you to one.
