This was before I lost Pez... in fact, it was for him. I wanted to make a hammock that I could hang low so he could get in it easily, as he was having hind leg paralysis.

So, I cut up an old shirt and some bits of jean, added a little stuffing, and created another hammock for their house.

A few shots that Brent took of Pigeon the other day with his iphone. More to come from Brent. It's a Pigeon-week, can you tell? So... you can see he's a bit dirty. There have been debates to the stains, but he really does clean himself a lot. Those stains are just well stained. His tail is going to get a bath too. He's cleaner than Pez was, since Pez was getting old, so now that he's by himself, he should stay a bit cleaner too.

Saturday morning, my sweet baby bug Pez passed away. One of two of my rattie boys, he lived to be about 2 and a half years old. He was struggling with many health problems, the main, and consistently worsening one was his respiratory problems. He is now gone... and I miss him. I broke down a few times this weekend, and felt so horrible other times. It's not the same without him, and I feel for Pigeon, my other boy, who now I keep with me and around me when I can. We'll keep each other company.

I was going to get him some new roommates, as rats are social, but he's sick right now too, so he can't be around other rats.

Anyway... tribute to come. Photos, etc.

So, today I decided it was time to add a little 'umph' of cuteness to some photos. I made some photos frames to pop my pictures into! Here they are... starring Pigeon and Pez! My wonderful pet ratties (photos are a bit older... they were taken a while ago!):

AND... I made them so you can use them too, if you'd like! Just save these frames below and use photoshop (or powerpoint works too, really) to layer them on top of your photos! And if you do, do share! I would love to see them!
(In powerpoint, drop your photo onto a sheet, then drop the photo frame over. It's transparent, so you'll see your picture through it! All you have to do is make sure you have your picture cropped so it fits underneath, then group it all and right click and save as picture!)





Cheers!
