Friendship-
We always thought 'man's best friend' was a dog, but...
Boy's best friend is a pet rat. Why, because when you can't afford the upkeep of a dog, you improvise with the next best animal. Meet Eric's best friend, a Lab-a-rat-retriever - Bubbles.

PS did you have one or two or more rats? This one is called a 'Dumbo Rat' because of her big ears placed at the sides of her head. #8401810

Cute~My daughter has a pet rat named DiVinci. I was afraid of them until she got him....I love him now. He is so sweet and smart. #8947319Christine Lobsinger October 04, 2010
Hi Shelly, it's nice to hear from you. Glad you like Bubbles/Eric. I was afraid too of mice and rats until we visited our three teenaged cousins (all girls) and they had one- I still thought 'it would be gross to have one' but I learned all about rats online and LOVE them.. I can't believe they r one of the best pets to own (beside a dog that is, lol!) Also the fact that they don't eat us out of home like a dog and their waste by products - ha, are alot smaller and they don't NEED to go out for two to three walks per day!!Thanks for popping in here- appreciate it.
