Only vegetables are happy




As if I don't have enough already! Meet Ronaldo and Cootie, 7 week old boy rats. They like the studio.

"People need trouble - a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy"

William Faulkner

Oh fantastic, I have often thought about keeping a rat, they are supposed to be very intelligent.
Welcome to blogland Ronaldo and Cootie, hope we see more of you!

It's rather sad to see these pics in the like of Cootie's sad demise. I hope that you're all feeling a bit better.

Thank you. Yes it seems very hard at the moment. We did manage to get another littermate for Ronaldo however, and I'll post pics of Diego soon...when I can get him to sit still long enough!!!
