My name is Galileo and I am super handsome! *38 > months*

[liza]

Here you see me being a good boy, eating my Green Mush with lab blocks. Mommy is a good chef!



This is where I like to sleep. I climb up the ramp (mommy and daddy have no clue how I can still do that ) and then build this nest here. Mommy helps me with the nest a little because it's quite difficult to drag paper up the ramp too. She is a fine lady, my mom, but when she kisses me all over, gee! She does that every evening! She is so needy!



Don't mind my old feet, hey, I am old, so I can have longish nails and curly feet. You wait! You will get there too one day! I'm a wise man, so that's why my body is getting all wrinkly and curly. I've been around for a long time! My fur is losing its gloss too, but I don't care. Mommy tries to keep care of my hair, she doesn't understand I don't care if I am scruffy or not. I'm still handsome, don't you think?



See, I'm still a hunk! My daddy says I am the strongest rat ever! I feel my body is getting weaker and weaker, but I daily exercise in the room and investigate everything too. I have to keep fit, so a little exercise here and there, healthy food and keeping my humans in line is what keeps me so young!

Have a nice weekend everyone!
And for those who are sad, who are going through a difficult time right now, maybe my handsome face has brought a smile into your sad face.

I'm not sure that I've ever read a more appropriate title!  He is a super handsome man, and he looks really happy (and cute, and kissable), and I sure needed that smile.  Galileo, my girls hear you on that kissing thing though...don't moms ever get enough?

Oh, my, what a handsome old man rat.

He's gorgeous!!  And brave and a real trooper too...reminds me of Sebastian, I had no clue how he managed all those ramps to get where He wanted to go. 

Give him a big kiss for me!!!  I can already hear him going " Geee...more Mom? Don't you ever get enough??"

The scruffier, the hansomer, in my opinion....what a darling!

You are very handsome, Galileo!  And I think you have lovely feet!

Thank you all! 

I got home early today and of course, the first thing I do when I get home is turn on the computer. Galileo heard me and popped out of the hammock immediately! Sooo cute!!!!  So I put the four rats back in (Cado and his girls get to be in the rat room while we are at work) and took Galileo out. He loves to sick in a little cage in the middle of the rat room. He loves that little cage! He will sit in the hammock in there for hours and hours. He has very similar hammocks in his cage, but he somehow likes those too. He sometimes walks around the entire room, just checking nothing has changed...  He used to be in a group who came out all day long while we were at work: Gaston, Vivaldi, Jaydee Kuh and Galileo. It was their room. They were the first ones to roam around the rat room. I believe whenever Galileo is in the rat room, he is with his family. Sometimes, I believe I see them all there and he loves that! We tried to integrate Galileo but it upset him so much that he is much happier on his own. He is in a one-level cage, a very large one, but he gets to come outside whenever he wants to.

He tells us what he wants and we jump to please him! He is our Survivor! I think he will live forever.
