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.
