EAGLE's Luscious Baby Harry 5-22-08 to 10-17-10

Also known as Baby Lush, Harry was my biggest, squishiest, most laid back rat. He was my ratty ambassador, thrilling new people with his size and calm, kissy demeanor. Harry started off as a wee little ratty, the smallest ratty in the cage. He grew to be the biggest, weighing in at almost 2 pounds. Harry tied for best costume at Ratarama 09. He was dressed as an angel. He leaves behind 2 cage mates and a mamma who misses him terribly.

Two events to talk about!

Two rat related events happened in September. The first was Rat Camp over Labor
Day weekend. What a blast! Thank you LeAnn and Beth for hosting it this year! It was so fun to hang out with old friends and talk about all sorts of things but especially rats! There was a wine and cheese tasting Friday night, followed by some hot tub time. Saturday we played rat themed games such as Rat Toss (tossing ping pong balls into an igloo) and Rat scavenger hunt. Lunch was pulled pork and it was awesome! That evening we had MargarRata night, while playing rationary, followed by more hot tubbing. Sunday we nursed our hang overs and watched girl flicks.

The next event, Fall Show, was 3 weeks later and was a fun time also. Rat shows are always a lot of fun! Charybdis took Best in Section, and Milly got 'Most Amazing Rescue' along with Lady, my new Nampa rescue girlie. I also picked up DMTN Lizzy from Morgan at Dream Mountain Rattery. Lizzy is a Black European Roan dumbo kitten, and along with Russet who I will be picking up at the Portland show, the lynchpin to my breeding plans next year.
