It's me again. HARLEY! I have been reading EVERYWHERE about a wonderful toy called a PLAGUE RAT! So I asked my Mommie if Daisy and I could GET one, and she said YES!

We bought this toy from my FRIEND,
Baby Patches. She has her own store. With RATS! And here's my very own RAT! I have named him BEN! He's very LOVELY.

HELLO, BEN! Can you HEAR me? You will be my NEW friend. Okay? OKAY?! Why don't you ANSWER me, Ben?!

How LONG is your TAIL, anyway? I think MY tail is LONGER, Ben. Does that BOTHER you?

Ben, I ADORE you a little bit. THANK YOU for being my very own PLAGUE ratsie. Um, you would not give me the plague, right?

♫ Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me ♫
That's so sweet Harley. You have your very own pet rat. Ben is a nice name for him!

ReplyDeleteTavi, Cody, Camie, Miss Jade and Gracie
Hi Ben, you're filled with catnip and valerian root, how it smells, Harley?
ReplyDeleteDaisy, please email me, give me your addie if you don't mind, if you don't want to, I'll understand.
Love ya!
Ben looks like a very nice ratty. I used to have my very special Scruffy Rat which I have had since I was a kitten. When the Beans went on holiday last year, Scruffy got lost. Mum says he has to be in the garage somewhere and he will turn up again one day. I really miss Scruffy, and mum has got me another one who looks the same except Scruffy didn't have much stuffing or fur left. Maybe she will get me a plague rat.
ReplyDeleteSad Eric
Ben looks like a great rattie Harley. I can see you like playing with him! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteBen the plague ratsie looks like a fun friend. I'm sure he won't give you the plage.
ReplyDeleteHi, Harley!
