Zam's early rat-loving days.

"The Ratties" A.K.A Sunshine and Rascus

While the appeal of the rats has long been lost on Zam, our whimsical, spirited Hizee Ann has become a hard-core rat lover! Whenever I can't find her in the house I just go to the "rat room" and there she is staring lovingly at her "ratties." She does show them some rather "though love" but the pocket hideout seems to fit the needs of both parties -- Hizee can still see and touch her rat (Sunshine) and the Sunshine has a place to hide if the going gets rough.

Party Girl!
The kids were ecstatic about celebrating Bruce's birthday this week.

Marshmallow Mouth! The lure of roasted marshmallows make backyard fires almost a daily event.

Pure elation! Ziko went in the outside swing for the first time the other day and was absolutely giddy about the whole idea!
