Meet Ben, my Plague Ratsie!

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 ♫

    Daisy, Cricket actually likes the Cat Dancer the most. She is so graceful and fun to watch. Toeshee needs the exercise because he is getting F A T. He prefers to play fetch.

  58. 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.
