Photo Friday: Sister

These two pet rats were sisters. They lived a short life of two years as best friends and cage mates. They completely changed my view of rats. Before my daughter wanted pet rats I never would have thought to get a rat for a pet. After much discussion we bought Marge and Marilyn at the pet store. They were very sweet and friendly pets. Unfortunately like their ancestors who were lab rats they died from cancer. These sisters will be missed. You may think they had unusual names for rats, but they were named after a pair of sisters in our family.
