So I realize that I have YET AGAIN failed to keep my blog updated… believe me, I feel really bad about it. 
But I’d really like to get back into blogging regularly (once or twice a week) so this is a catch-up post and might be a little long….
- First news: I got my ears pierced! It was done on September 7th. I’ve had them in for almost three weeks now! Just three more weeks to go before I get to take them out and put different ones in.
I’m really excited about that.
- Second news: Ratatouille, my youngest rat, died a short while ago. I think he had an ear infection, I don’t know. He had a head tilt, which is usually a side-affect of ear infections. RIP, Ratatouille.
- Third news: Ratatouille was Ego’s (my other male rat) friend… so once he died, I had to get another friend for Ego. Rats are very social and should be kept in pairs or small groups. Introducing Bear! He’s quite small, probably only a couple months old.
- It rained since the first time in forever yesterday!!! Awesomeness.
It absolutely poured for 3 or 4 hours. Outside smelled so GOOD afterwards… I drew you a picture of what it looks like outside! 
- Areli (our dog) is getting SO big. She’s enormous. Gigantic. Huge. Pictures below!
So that’s it for now on news… I hope you can read my handwriting on the pictures…
See ya later!
Nice to see you back! I know what you mean about the smell after a rain. Love it. Areli sure is big! Has she finished growing?
Thank you! I don’t know that she’s finished growing… she’ll probably still grow some more.
That is so cool that you got your ears pierced! My sister Annie got hers pierced the end of June. I have to wait two more years yet
Wow, your dog is getting big! She is so cute!!
Aw, Bear is so cute too.
Nice to talk to you!
