The good thing about a pet rat, said Cameron, is that their lifespan is generally only two to three years. At least it’s a pet you know you’re going to outlive, and don’t have to worry about making arrangements for it if you die first.
Anyway, at Cameron’s funeral Maisina, his second cousin twice removed, said she would be happy to look after the rat.

My daughter’s name is Cameron and she had a pet mouse that lived to be six years old!

I guess you can’t plan for everything. Or maybe the rat killed him and we don’t know….

The other day I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and the dog had left his blanket in the corridor. And when I picked it up in the dark it was a dead rat! Can men scream?

I’d have screamed! Ugh. I bet you’ll be turning on lights from now on when you see something in the dark. But, really, if it’s a rat, you’re still going to scream.

LOL – I have never seen a rat here apart from that one, so I’m not sure where it came from. I suppose they’re everywhere!

I’d be investigating. Having one in the house isn’t optimal, unless you think a dog or cat brought it in–and that would be concerning, too.

My husband has always wanted a pet rat, and now I have a new excise for why we can’t get one. Thanks!

A plague-ridden rat has to be well cooked.
