Speaking of, how about those Bulls?<BR/><BR/>I love the picture of your mom with<BR/>Ben- what a good deed you did! As for rats- my kids had a few delightful pet rats but the last one- Abby smuggled it into her room at her dad's place- and it ate it's way into a loveseat. Stayed there for a year only coming out at night to pick up the food Abby left it. She stayed up trying to capture it but to no avail- that rat was fast!<BR/><BR/>Seafood festival, huh?

A boston Terrier now named OTIS. First dog in the history of my family that sleeps in bed with my parents. I never thought I would see that. Best money I ever spent.Smilin-buddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933460205181069350noreply@blogger.com
