Hi, I'm Jenn... a mom of 3 (one girl, 2 boys), and artist working part time at a custom wedding cake topper company. I have a small side business of pet and people portraits, mainly in pencil. I love the Lord with all my heart, and try to bring joy to others in all I do. Last, but by no means least... I'm an animal lover! Right now, we have a sweet and beautiful cat named Chaucer who is mooch and a charmer! Love him so! :heart:
Our 8 yr old daughter (the oldest) is working HARD to earn the privilage to adopt 2 pet rats. She is taking her repsonsibility so seriously, and I'm so proud. She'll be rescuing 2 girls that we'll pick up when her "Ultimate Rodent Challenge" is complete. (She has a star chart of ten daily responsibilities that she'll finish just days before Christmas. Good timing, no? )
In preparation for our new fuzzy family, we've been reading/researching and watching lots of YouTube. Thanks for posting such great videos, Joanne! We'll be getting the litter pans, hides, and excersize wheel over the next few weeks. I build cat climbers to sell, and I think she and I will put one together for her rats. I've made a cat climber with a "castle" as the main part... I think it would be so fun to make a rat castle!
I had 2 pet rats when I was in jr. high and I knew how great they were! With all of this preparation, I'm getting excited, too, and got my name on a waiting list for 2 Russian blue rexes with a local breeder here close to Phili... http://www.BlueHeavenRattery.com. They are absolutely fabulous!
'K, better get done! Just looking forward so much to getting our new babies and meeting all of you in the rat-lovin' family!
Happy Thanksgiving!
