A New Addition to the Family

Meet Templeton



Not what you expected? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Anyway, this is Kelsi's new pet rat. Yep, a rat. He's an early birthday gift and has been living at Grandma's house for a while, today he moved over here. He lived at Grandma's house to make sure he'd be OK for Kelsi, he was, after all, a lab rat. He seems to be a very friendly guy though...as long as you don't stick your finger by his nose, he'll think it's food! Now the question is where to keep him! His cage is huge.



Right now it's on the counter in our kitchen, but I really don't like the idea of having a rat in my kitchen. Crazy, I know.

Matthias really likes him too.





Kelsi has already met him several times, and knows that he is her birthday gift, but she doesn't know that she gets him yet. So that will be a little surprise when she gets home =)

Wow...that was fast! He really is a nice rat...and cute as long as you don't look at his tail. I am sure Kelsi will enjoy him...and he will have Matthias to keep him company when Kelsi is gone. :)
