Hey Homer, I didn't know you have fish. What kind do you have?
Make sure to go to the General section of PT, and create a new thread, and let everyone know who you are and introduce your pets. I am sure everyone here would love to read up on your incredible animals, and there are a few horse lovers here too! :D
Let me know if you need help getting around the forum, although I am sure you can figure it out. ;)
Hey Tray, you know, I do love those men! :D I mean, they are good for some things aren't they? LOL Just kidding. Men are cool, in fact I plan on being one in my next life. :p Women have too many problems lol.Quote:

OMG, Mario, what the HECK are you doing HERE?!!!! :eek: Willie, I tell ya, you need to keep a leash on your little thief! He just stole the rest of my Corona's! :eek:
Edit: Maybe one day I'll actually learn how to spell! :rolleyes:
Isn't that the truth, funny *looks to see if Homer is listening or nearby* how all those problems start with Men....
Willie;)
:p
Women? Problems? Who'd a thunk THAT?
Seriously, folks.
Aw, see isn't he a handsome man? The rat, not Jim. LOL! Just kidding, just kidding! :D :p I don't know why I'm so hyper tonight. Maybe it's because I did ALL the dishes (hurray for me!) AND I even worked on my website, and spent quality time with Dylan like I wanted. Man, it's fun having a two year old........most of the time anyway. ;)
Does he look tall in that pic? Man oh man, how tall are you again Homer? 6'5? :eek: He's like two of me put together lol.
You know, I am really glad my babies found such a great home. GW looks so content with his new daddy, and from what Loree tells me, he sure is one spoiled ratty! ;)
Oops, I am going to have to be more careful, don't you think so Homer??
Nice picture, I like your mustashe, and that cute little rat. What is his/her name? It has to be a good one, if Cass raised it, then it is a sweetie.
Welcome to Pet Talk Homer!
Yup
Pretty big and pretty old.
Retired Navy Chief, too.
So all bets are off. Gotta keep the old tongue in check/cheek.
Will be working on my website soon. When I remember how to access it, that is. Hyuk hyuk. Forget things nowdays. Too many brain cells leaking out. That's what causes gray hair, you know. It's really little tiny follicle holes where the real good hair fell out and brain cells are leaking. When you go completely bald, you're completely out of brain cells. Or else the tire fix goo you have been drinking called "Rogaine" has plugged up the holes. Then the brain cells that have already leaked out turn darker colors because they are starting to decay and to pick up smog.
Enough for now. Gotta go look for my Geritol.
Later...Homer:confused:
I know why you're so hyper, you have been to thursdays!!! ;)
And the fact that Honey is doing so much better!:)
That rat, my dear moustache loving woman, is G.W., short for George W. Bush. My favorite President next to Reagan and J.F.K..
And I am trying to set my webpage server up so I can post pictures and load them here as images. Once I get that handled, I'll post more pictures.
For now, my really outdated website is www.ki7ay.com
KI7AY is my Extra-Class Amateur Radio call.
:D See ya!
Oh my god, Cass Homer sounds like me!!! I like him! 6'5" that is tall. My son is about that tall, I have to look up at him. Just think Cass, one of these days you will probably have to look up at Dylan!
Can you imagine that? I know it is hard to imagine, but those sweet little babies grow up so fast! Don't blink too fast...:)

Hey Willie, that rat happens to be the one that was your favorite, the little black boy! :D

Yes yes, Thursdays! :D I had such a blast last night with Mario sleeping by my side. I love snuggling up to something furry. ;) Must have been that shot of Jack I had this morning...........I'm too perky!

I know, *sigh*. they grow WAY too fast I tell ya! :( :)
My god, Homer got my rat!!! Well he is just going to have to love enough for me too.
My rat!!:( , At least it has a very good home! I am happy about that.:)
Yeah, Mario is a good little bed buddy.
What is Mario
Great news everyone!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Honey starting using her back legs a little bit today! :D WOW! I can't believe it. I think she actually may get her mobility back. I mean she scoots herself around, but I actually think she will be able to walk again! I'm not sure on the bladder control issue, but at least she would be walking.
I am SO happy! Please continue to say prayers for my Honey. Jim was over today and saw that she was trying to walk, so it's not in my head lol. :p
Oh, and Mario is a monkey. ;)
thats awsome!!!!
Jynnelle, that is a great signature! I love it! :D
Cass, that is wonderful news! Seems things just get better and better! Now we need a human chain to get orangie to you! I wonder how we would go about doing that?
Yeah Mario is a Monkey, a little sweet heart, there are some pictures posted somewhere of him. I am not sure where though, because I didn't start the thread..
So Homer seen honey up and around too, great news. I am so happy to hear that. I was really afraid for Honey.
Willie
That is wonderful news.
Keeping fingers and toes crossed, that Honey
will improve more each day.
Well, first Off
I had no idea about Honey and am glad that she is getting better, she sounds very sweet.
and
Welcome Homer!!! ;)
Thanks everyone. :)
Here are some pics of Honey that I took the night of her injury. This is how bad it was........actually this was the morning after. The stuff leaking from her vaginal area is her urine. It was so dark because she was dehydrated. Now it's fine, and I've been emptying her bladder a few times a day, so it's clear now. She doesn't always look this pathetic. She was really dehydrated in these pics so she looks very thin. In fact, she lost a few grams in weight in just a little while. She has gained some back. I just had her out right now so you all can see her progress with pics, and she is actually pushing with her feet. She just needs to work up those muscles again and put weight on them, which she doesn't want to do just yet.

This one is sad. :( She was trying to turn herself to get up but she couldn't. :(

And some cute pics to make up for the sad ones. :D
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f9e99c31.jpg
Look at this face. How on earth could I have killed her?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f9e99c26.jpg
Cass those first ones are just heartbreakers, but the others are just so cute, she has the sweetest little face.
I can see why you couldn't have her put down, I am so glad you listened to your heart and kept her close to you.
This picture looks like she has her little hands together praying, how sweet!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f9e99c26.jpg
Plus look at that sweet little tongue! God she so cute!! and sweet looking..
Cass, I read this thread from beginning to end. I was sure happy that the news kept getting better and better.
And I hope by Sunday that Honey is able to walk again. Bless you for your devotion to her.
You know, I never liked rats - or so I thought - and one day I met my first rat - her name was Dusty (R/B) and she was absolutely the dearest little thing with the sweetest face. When I would visit my friend - she would come right out to me.
What is the average life span of a rat? My friend lost hers at about three years.
Also, welcome Homer........you look like a nice Papa.
It averages between two and a half to about four, sometimes shorter and sometimes longer. I hope Honey will live at least three years. She is around 6 1/2 months old right now. :)Quote:

That rat sounds like she was awfully sweet. They are such nice animals. I love my ratties. :D
Willie, thank you for the kind words. I love Honey's tongue. In fact, out of all the animals I own I think rat tongues are the best. They aren't slobbery like dogs, aren't rough like a cats.......they are just perfect.
[B]Well, ladies, you have to realize that rats are survivors! Those little animals are cute, furry, and fun but they know how to stay alive. Honey is a perfect example. She was scooting around like nobody's business when I was over to visit yesterday, and if you could only have seen her front parts, you would never have thought there was anything wrong with her. I have been joking with Cass about getting a little cart put together so she could REALLY haul buns, but it looks like nature and rat resiliency are working their magic on Honey and she won't need it.
But I did tell Dan that is he ever gets really sick (God forbid!) Cassandra has the tools and ability to nurse him back to health. Even if he IS "Just a man"...
Hugs to all, Homer
I would do whatever I could to keep Dan happy if he were sick.
Yes Honey does get around pretty well. I took her out last night after you left and she was really getting around well. I am so excited about this. At first I never thought she would recover, but now I am confident that she will. :)
I was just thinking about what homer said, the little cart. Wouldn't that be just so cute?? I can just see this cute little energetic Honey running with the cart behind her and all the little ratties jumping on and taking a free ride! ;)
I am soooooo happy Honey is doing so well. I think the love you gave her is what got her through this ordeal. Now really Cass, don't you believe that too? She really had a lot to fight for to be able to stay with you.
Willie:)
Actually a friend of mine is in the process of making one for Honey, just in case. We thought of this a few days ago and she belongs to a Corgi list and one of the ladies who also belonged designs these for dogs, so she thought we could have one made for Honey as well. WOW, RUN ON SENTENCE! :eek: LOL
That okay, I do that all the time, even in person! I was talking to that son-in-law to be last night and my hubby was laughing at me, as I was explaing how to hook up their digital camera. I am just rambling on, and my hubby is making fun, I stopped long enough to tell him to be quite, I still had 30,000 more words to say today and it was getting late and I need to get them said fast. LOL. Of course Sam is looking pretty confused because I am really talking verrrrrry fast and not ending a sentence where it should be ended. Hows that?
I have a job to do, I must get my daily account of words in or I will explode!
Willie
Oh, I forgot to say, be sure and put a passenger cart on too.;)
Willie
Hey Cass. I am so glad to hear Honey is doing better. I'm counting on a full recovery!
I'm new here, wife of Homer, and Mom to 4 of Cass' ratty babies. I finally made it to the site. :cool:
DOH! Marge is here. No more being weird.:eek:
Homer, I am pretty sure Marge already knows your weird!! Don't you Marge??;)
Welcome to Pet Talk Marge!!
Willie
Hey! Finally he gave you the link!! Sorry I didn't mail it to you but I have been really busy lately. Hey since I am typing ratty stuff the links for the cages I suggested are these:Quote:

www.Martinscages.com or www.Qualitycage.com
For Martins cages I would suggest getting an R690. I had an R695 and I hated it! But a lot of people love these cages. Quality cages are what I think you should get, and like I said you can find them at Bobcat pets. Oh hey, we are going to look at a house and the owner is the manager of Bobcat pets lol. :p We went house searching a bit today, and hopefully soon we will get one. I have my eye set on a few already that I really like.
Fern cages are another good cage company. I will search around for some more links, but in the meantime I am going to link you to the Rat Fan Club, or well, now's it Rats Rule forum. The link is to their post on rat cages. Everyone has posted pictures on their cage setups so you can see how the cages are when things are in them, and also look at designs and companies etc. :) Hope this helps. But if you want, you can come over, pick me up and I can help you with your search.

aww she is so precious!!
Cass, We need an update on Honey! Where have you been??
Get over here and update us!!!!!
Willie
Just a little update on my Honey bunz. :) She's off meds, and her uterine infection is gone. She can walk again and she lives with the girls in the three story cage. She's not 100% but she has great balance and hasn't fallen once. She's about 97% better. There are times when her back legs sorta twist around but other than that she's fine. :)
I'll try to get some pics of her soon so you all can see just how well she's doing. :D
Cass, this is wonderful news!!! :)
