Dearest Fedya and Plumpy, what a beautiful pair of Fancy Rats you are! You're both absolutely gorgeous, with that soft-looking grey fur and those long tails and those sweet faces looking up at me with those lovely dark eyes. You have an amazing story to tell. Many years ago your dear person had another pair of rats named Fedya and Plumpy, who grew old and went to the Rainbow Bridge. He/she was sure they would just rest on the rainbow and then return. And then one day he/she went into a pet store, saw you two other rats waiting, and took you home, knowing you were the ones! You both immediately chose the same places they loved, so your person gave you the same names. You've repeated the character traits of your predecessors, complete with their little "squeak-squeak" conversations at night. You love your treats, and your favorite toy is the sofa, which you've both been working hard redesigning. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Fedya and Plumpy, on being chosen Pets of the Day! We hope you both and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, with a special serving of sunflower seeds and bananas!
