Raisin the rat hard at work.

Blizzard and Raisin the rat.

Nugget the rat wanted to see what it was like to give birth. So here she is giving birth to Niblet the rat in a terrifying simulation. It doesn’t look like it’s as much fun as they thought it would be.

My wife was upset when Blizzard the Rat’s stitches came out, but the vet said it was fine and didn’t need to redo them. Blizzard has an appetite, which is good. We have pics of her after the surgery that I can post in a bit, too. Right now, given her age (Blizzard is 2 years and 7 months old) she seems to be doing well.

Thanksgiving at Raisin’s house. Oh boy.
