Herbert was originally Connor's rat. But when he decided the little creature who liked to sit and snuggle was too boring, he was adopted by the girls. Delaney was in charge of keeping Herbert fed, and Kelly gave him love. He was truely their pet.
But lately at the ripe old age of two and a half years their little friend was showing his age. And Monday night we could tell he was in his final moments. Kelly held him all night, and at bed time said what she thought were her final goodbyes. But in the morning to our surprise he was still breathing. She woke up to give him a pet and then they said goodbye.

But in the McElvain way we stopped to find a new friend on our way home from school that same day...Meet Lenny
He has brought many smiles and giggles to our home already. And we are looking forward to a good two to three years of endearment with our new pet.

Bless his little heart. We have had four rats total in the not so long ago past. I was horrified when my husband & granddaughter, (who lives with us), came packing one home for her new pet. But your right, they are so gentle and sweet. Good for you getting a new little buddy. I hope he lives the max for these little guys. (They sure don't live very long). Found you from the Bella Blvd site. Love your work!
