Hi Frisco,
Congrats on being POTD! I haven't post in awhile but when I saw you I had to say a few words. You look like such a cutie. Now, a lot of people would go yuck if they saw a rat. I however have grown to like them a lot as my ex boyfriend and I had many. I was extremely reluctant at first as I was ignorant at first. But I found out that rats are affectionate, intelligent, and very clean as they wash themselves like cats! Now sewer rats are not the same as domestic rats. They are however rather short lived up to 5 years, that is the downfall Females by my experience are more affectionate. My favorites were Miss Mouse and Big Ben who was beige.
