It
makes me break into a wide grin (bearing of my fangs) when I think of
the day I got my little vermin friend, Maru. I originally got her from a
pet store using what was left of my pocket money ($). She was so small
and tiny, with beady black eyes full of intelligence & curiosity; I
could not resist. I took her home in her cardboard box. Set her in a
clean cage with Aspen wood shavings for bedding, an old sock for a bed,
a bowl full of nourishing food, and a new plastic water bottle full of
H2O.
So, Maru is an adult right now, around a year old. Sometimes I
take her skateboarding with me, she doesn't mind it: sitting on my
bulbous shoulder with the wind in her fur. Her claws submerge into my
neck. She hasn't fallen once! :) The sweetness of her amazes me, she
just licks my hands. Maybe it's because I need a shower. Or maybe...
just maybe... it's a sign of affection that she loves me so. Her
favorite food is blueberries an' she likes to explore gardens outdoors
and sometimes she plays with my African Pygmy Hedgehog, "Billy Bill".
I'm not sure what astrological sign she is, but if I knew I'd tell the
world. Maru is very special to me. Guess what? I'm prob'ly going get her
a nice boyfriend rat. A extraordinary hairless one. I hope you enjoy
looking at the rat that was named after a Japanese restaurant. Perhaps
rats will greet you in your slumber one day!
