Happy Halloween!



Banana is our resident mouse. Okay, she's actually a rat. A Dumbo Satin Rat to be more precise, but the kids agree that sounds rather insulting, so we all call her mousie. She is gentle, well-loved, has a very silly personality, and loves Cheerios.

The kids are too old for trick-or-treating
(or so I've been told),
so it's up to Banana to bring home the goods this year.
What she lacks in stature she makes up for in stealth.

 Fare thee well, Banana,
you noblest of creatures!

  4. Rats make the best pets. They are smart, sturdy and won't walk off a table like a hamster.

  5. ...How cute and great photo too! We had a mouse have babies when I was in 4th Grade and I got one for a pet, her name was "Minny" (I know, real original :o) Anyway, she lived a long life and was very loved... :o)

  10. If it's ok with you, I'm sticking with Banana the MOUSE. Not that I'm over the moon about the mousey versions either.

  11. Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
    Very cute Banana! at my house my "guard-cats" would get him and make him into a "toy" (I hate when they do that!) and if they didn't, well, my "herd" of dogs would!
    It's good he's found a safe home with you!

  14. EEEEEEKS! No mouse-people HERE. I am strictly a cat person! But as far as rats/mice go, your Banana is a very cute one!

  15. CUTE photo!

    And YAY!!!! For someone else who doesn't just go "YUCK" to rats!

    I keep trying to tell people, if you're going to get your kid a small rodent pet, get a rat. They are sweet, smart, gentle, loving, adorable... etc.

    But does anyone ever listen? NO.
    Then they get a hamster and the hamster bites their kid.

  16. When I first saw this picture before you had clarified that it was indeed a rat I was going to post that no, that's not a mouse.

    Beautiful little dumbo eared Banana!

    I too am VERY fond of little rat kids and yes, Cheerios are a must have!!
