Rat #1 and Rat #2

Last weekend we got 2 baby rats for G. She says they are not a replacement for Fluffy the white rabbit, but indoor pets, like the hamster we had which died just before DH left for the US. They have complicated names from characters in the fantasy games she plays on her PC but DH and I can't cope with that, so we refer to them as Rat #1 and Rat #2. Rat #1 is cream with pale fawn markings, she is very sociable and inquisitive and likes to come out of the cage and ride around on your shoulder or inside your jumper. Rat #2 is also cream but with a lot of darker brown markings. She is very shy and doesn't like to come out of the cage at all. They are sisters from the same litter so, hopefully, they will get along OK. They kept G awake for the first couple of nights, fighting and squeaking and generally running around. She is still suffering from sleep deprivation and I have had to drive her to school for the last few mornings. Someone here remarked "now she knows what motherhood is like".
The picture I am posting up is Rat#1 in typical inquisitive mode.

For all you quilters out there - I am posting up a link to the Snake River Quilt Guild website. From there you can take a look at the fantastic quilt which is being raffled at the upcoming exhibition. 'Quilting by the Falls - it's music to my soul', April 20-21. It is just gorgeous - all hand appliquéd and hand quilted - take a look at the detail pictures. How many raffle tickets shall I put you down for?
