Poppy

Okay, so a year ago we decided to get a pet. Since there were no children in our family, we thought we needed something. We can't have any large animals in our apartment, so that cut down the choices. Fish are boring, birds are noisy, so what could we possibly get. At that time I was working at a preschool, and I thought it would be fun to get a pet that I could take to work with me for the children to enjoy. So we went to the pet store and decided on a rat. The children loved it.

We got him at 3 weeks old, and named him Poppy. For the longest time we thought it was female, but soon realized we were wrong. Now a year later, he has grown full size, and is part of our family. YEAH !!!
I'm sure there are some that might be grossed out, but what choice did we have?
