As well as being owned by 2 cats & now 4 kittens I thought I'd post some pics of my dog Sasha, a GSD + Malinois & my 14 pet rats.

Firstly Sasha who is a lovely natured dog who loves all of our pets. She is approx 5yrs old & loved by all who meet her.

Now my ratties, all 14 of them aged ranged from 32mths to 4mths old. they are a squishie group of boys living together in a big cage ...they never bite chase the cats & are loved by Sasha.

Last but not least my latest boy Odin, a rattie who had been illtreated, kept on his own in a small cage & was terrified of other rats, took a week to get him to meet another rat without fighting...now this is what he's like....in only 3 weeks

Hope you enjoy these piccies & I've not bored you...think you've met them all now.

Oh I'm so in love Chris!!! They are all gorgeous, I'm a huge rat fan and have kept rats for the last 15 years. My last one died a few months back and I have decided to have a break from keeping them. Do miss having the little blighters about though!

Glad you like them, they do make brill pets, you can be "Aunty" to mine if you want alexgirl173.

Mags, sorry to hear rats give you the shivers, i thought like that at one time...didn't like the tails...but honest they're much friendlier than Hamsters, one of my "Himmies" Smudge, the big guy on the loo seat knows when I need a cuddle...he's my heart rat..you'll understand what I mean alexgirl173?

I LOVE your dog!!I has a shephard when My son's were younger. She was a rescue and what a brilliant girl she was.
Your rats are interesting. I dont dislike them but I must admit I think they are about the only pet I haven't had:lol: .
Nice to meet your family.

No the older ones are from a person I found out after I'd got them was a bad breeder who should be nameless & the younger ones where from an accidental litter from a close friend of mine.
