"Rats are the ones in the cage, but who are the ones constantly rushing to feed them, cuddle them, and kiss them? Us. They are our owners, not the other way around." -Emma.

Day One.

As I sit here and think about what I want to do my podcast on, my mind instantly wanders to my boys at home. I miss them like crazy whilst at school, yet I go every day. I intend to convince, if not just my class, everyone I know, they are sweet, endearing little things. Not these evil little ankle-biters everybody seems to believe they are.
I feel so horrid when I come home and they won't come give me kisses because they feel like I have abandoned them. I constantly have to remind them I love them. I know the stereotype that "Rat's are dirty, gross, unfeeling, uncaring, nasty." Trust me. I've heard them all. But, I do not believe in the slightest that they are unfeeling little creatures. The different personalities of my boys alone convinces me on that. How Gus is so shy, caring, and a buffer. But, Chilee is such an antagonist and a mooch.  How Ed is my squishy guy, always going with the flow and really not caring. Yet, Marvin is such a macho man, always needing to be the winner.
Yes, it was quite clear from the time Mr. E said "Anything you want" what I was going to do my podcast on, my babies, my rats.
