I forgot to post this in September but better late than never! Rats require daily exercise for their health and emotional wellbeing and I explain different ways to incorporate it into their life, even without them realizing they are exercising 😉 #rats #petrats #rat

Oh interesting maybe he’ll keep it then! I was sad to see all Finiums’ color go. Here’s a collage of him. The upper left corner pic was used in a book and when it was featured in the New York Times, the pic was used for the write up too. I was so excited to see my boy in the NYT!

There’s a fanatic book called Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. Together, the tile and the book cover perfectly capture how one comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence! (I hope I explained it clearly in the alt text)

This month I wrote about some of the goofy quirks that rats possess. They never cease to find ways to make their owners laugh 😄

Ever have a rat escape their cage? This can be a stressful experience, especially if your rat is scared. In my latest article I give pointers on how to handle this and get your rat back safely. #rats #petrats

I had hoped it would at least show an image of my reel in the post but apparently it didn’t. Here’s actual reel

This is truly fantastic! I haven’t tackled realism like this yet in my needle felting and mostly do stylized animals. It’s interesting watching her technique.

Happy Friday the 13th!

I’m so excited to call this done 🙌🏼 This has truly been the most difficult thing I’ve ever felted and I had to start it over at least three times. But it was a labor of love for my son, to go with his Garfield collection 🐱

My latest article is out and is all about Miss Brisby, the packrat rescue I had for five years. Take a moment to learn more about her and why packrats are truly fascinating creatures that deserve a place in this world.

I’ve been missing my boys Brinley and Moffett a lot lately. Thought I’d share a drawing I did of them in 2023 for my rat-themed movie reviews article I did back in Dec ‘23. #art #illustration #rats #petrats
