congratulations on getting back with family!

I understand that some people don't like them, some people like tarantulas but I don't. I would never even get close to someone who has problems with them. I know how everybody in that group feels, everybody is cool with except for one person, who happens to be the leader's wife. Her reason is that Sian will 'be a distraction' during bible study. I ask, how can a tiny animal that will sit on my shoulder for hours at a time and not move or make a sound, because they don't have a 'voice' be more of a distraction than the dogs, squirrels, and other people there? But this isn't why I posted the pic, not to gripe, rather to celebrate a happy event.

My sister had an albino rat and it lived for several years before it finally died a couple of years ago (my nephew's rat but he lost interest not long after getting him). My sister really liked that rat.

Friends come and go as you each grow in different directions moving on to new adventures through your journey... thus losing contact with each other.

But DNA family is a life-time forever bonding that is so precious.
So glad for you Gms9810 with what is to come in the future due to this reunion... and all else that you discover you all have in common with each other.
Art??? Gimp???

I'm not a rat person though...

The ratio is one to thirty. A year old rat is like a 30 year old person. 3 years is about a normal lifespan. my most beloved one died the 4th of july last year. She was 4 1/2.
