A Rat?????

[oopsmyhalofello]

Hehehe this has me giggling. It really doesn't bother me if it is done in an endearing way. But if someone were to say it with any tone other then kindness I might have to throw down with them.

My husband calls mine dust mops

[Miss Andy]

Hehehe, that's an adorable story! Everyone calls Lucy a rat, too, especially after a bath.

Now THIS is a rat!

My dad calls Gypsy a mouse. He says she is too little to be a rat.

No way! She is adorable. She does looks miserable, though.

Ok, I've never heard the term, "throw down." What does it mean? I know it doesn't sound nice...

I suppose if our furbutts have hair down to the floor, they would pick up some dust along the way.

One of my co-workers used to call Tink a wharf rat! I told him to be careful or I'd send her over to knaw on him!

She's too big to be a rat now (unless you live somewhere other than Wisconsin). But people sure do like to make fun our our little ones don't they. Oh well, we love them and that's what matters.

It means kick their butts!

LOL! LOL! Are people truly that "goofy"????????? I thought the original story was funny because it was a couple of goofy teenagers; I have a goofy teenager and it made me laugh because I can totally picture it; but otherwise, c'mon people. Yorkie looks nothing like a rat.

I saw that. I wondered how much training it took to get the dog to allow that.
I almost thought it was a little mean.

When my brother comes to my house, he always asks, "wheres the rat"? I always tell him.....she's not JUST a rat.....she is an EXPENSIVE rat!!! $$$$$

I don't think they do either! How can these little cute things look anything like a rodent?????

You'd need a rifle if you saw a rat the size of Tink.
