Rats! Rats are the only non-carnivorous mammal I EVER want in my house! Nothing against most of the other ones, I'm just a herp person mostly!

I think you should chane it to "What Owns You". It fits much better

Great Poll, can't wait to see which is the most popular.

We used to be owned by teddy bear hamsters...the first one was Nibbles, and after she passed on, we had Buffy.

Nibbles was so tame. When I couldn't sleep at night (which was quite often) I would sit in the bathroom (where there was no place that she could get lost) and let her run free. In the summer time, I would take her outside and let her run in the tall grass. And when I wore overalls, I would put her in the chest pocket and she would cozy up and fall asleep there. She was such a great pal!

One time, I was letting her run free in the bathroom & I was sitting on the floor reading a book, and keeping an eye on her. Well, I guess I wasn't watching close enough because when I wasn't looking, she had chewed a huge hole right through the bottom of my skirt.

I guess she thought it would make a nice cozy bed!

Buffy wasn't nearly as tame as that, though she did have her cuddly moments. She tended to be skittish and easily frightened. I spent countless number of hours with her, but she never warmed up as much as Nibbles did.

I miss my hammies a lot, but with the cat & dog I don't think I would have too much time to spend with them. And also, I always am heartbroken at the shortness of their lifespan. But maybe it's "better to have loved & lost, then to never have loved at all".

No rodents here, but I did want a mouse for awhile.
