Squeak Squeak

Okay so let me tell you how this happened. It's Friday and I was called to substitute teach today for a 5th grade class. Right before the first teaching session Jessica comes bouncing into the room. "Hey Dad, I've got a question."

The next thing you know the day has ended and we have come home with 2 rats named Tinkerbell and Twitchy. Yes, we are rat-sitting for the weekend. Our temporary (and I emphasize temporary) pets belong to Jessica's 6th grade class and apparently they absolutely needed a place to stay for the weekend.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Dawn they are NOT gross they are cute
sweet innocent little animals. And Susie alot of other people have said they look like cute, sweet, innocent,
Stuart Little. Some people even said that they were going to bring in a toy motorcycle. So far no one has!
