Rat Miscellany

No adorable new pictures today (although we did take some great ones this weekend) but multiple updates on the rat front:

1. Sushi returns to the vet tomorrow to get her teeth trimmed. Their growth rate is astounding.

2. We purchased a paint tray yesterday. Expect reports on Saké and Sushi versus water soon!

3. We have discovered that Saké has a new trick. We woke up a few nights ago to a peculiar sound. Saké was pushing food across the cage, up against the front bars. Interestingly, she was only moving the food they seem to dislike. Even better, there appeared to be a well choreographed routine in progress. Saké pushed a piece of food through the bars and then a yellow dog (who just happens to have pancreatitis and be on a very specific diet) would jump up, grab the offered bit of food, and eat it. This went on for quite some time. I noticed a pile of food in the front of the cage again this morning, so my guess is that this happened again last night while we were asleep.

I'm going to try to get pictures of Saké and Parker, although I feel conflicted about encouraging them so I can document it when it's a terrible habit for both of them to develop. Terrible but also so very funny.
