Love your photos! It is great to see your workshop -- now we can imagine you working away there. And the ratties are so beautiful. They look very happy. I especially love that action photo of one of the girls jumping, using her tail as a stabilizer. :heart:
 
I went at home depot yesterday... considerating it's 1 hour away, I don't go all that often...lol
I got a bunch of stuff to organize my pegboard!
It's SO much better now that everything is not on my work table :)
specially my inks pads, I lucked out on a lot of 65 in eBay ( :shock: )plus the ones I already had so It's very convenient to see the colors at glance now, versus digging in the box! :thumbup:

and let's not forget my portable DVD!!! :bow: :bow:

Tada!!:

:lol:

mine seems to been missing for um, several years now :oops:


everything looks so awesome, set up like that.

and don't ya just love those ebay finds? i got one a few years back, it was a lot of misc flannel- over 10 yds I think and it was all high quality flannel too, and it ended up being ~$1.50 per yard, shipping included.
I've not seen a deal that good since, sigh.
but I still check, cuz you never know!!
 
I'm pretty addicted to Ebay...lol
the lot of 65 inks pads, I paid $15 for...a and some were the nice expensive ones! considering 1 ink pad can easily be $3-5 EACH...I was thrilled!!

one thing that I do, If i'm not looking for something too specific, I select " ending soonest" , that way , you get a bunch of $0.99 auctions :)

thanks mamarat!
 
well...meet the 2 newest members of the rats in pants gang!!
I got a call from the next town over shelter, telling me they had 3 rats surrendered to them, 2 females and 1 male. I was told one was a white one and then the 2 other ones were chocolate brown...LOL
so, I was pleasantly surprised when I got there that 1 girl was a dumbo mink (!!) and a dumbo pew, the boy was a beautiful agouti hooded.

They were kept on pine shavings and fed dog food so the pew and the boy look pretty rough, the mink seems really healthy.

so fast forward a few days later, the shelter girl I'm dealing with (same one as when I adopted Olivia) got them tested for mites by the vet and it came back negative..which was a total surprise to me since their fur and skin looks pretty bad...and the vet also said she could not feel babies with the mink ( I'm still thinking she may be pregnant...we'll see that in a few week I guess...)
so after talking with moon, I got them to write me a prescription for revo, just in case so that's a plus :)

one volunteer did want to adopt the pew girl, but after talking with them, they agree that it made more sense for me to get the 2 girls and him (the volunteer) the lone boy, who is believe to be around 2 yrs according to the previous owner.

so far, the pew was named "red eye" (really? how original...cough cough) and lovey for the mink.
they are getting new names....how about Gemma & Tara???
(I'm a HHUUGGEEE Sons of Anarchy fan!!)
so they will be camping in my office for their QT
(no worries, for those who don't know, we own the business :) )

aww her fur does look rough. I would treat them just to be safe and get them on decent food and they will look better soon!

i love the names but I love the show.. See if you took the boy you could of had a Jax!
 
I was TOTALLY naming him Clay....LOL
i mean, a rat would have to be outstandingly gorgeous to deserve to be names "Jax"...lol

He could only be Clay if he beat them all up and was horrible aggressive!
