Buttons Rat lives with Orson Rat and Janus Rat, and they get along fine aside from food squabbles.
Bertrand Rat is solo but spends a lot of time with me.
Someone home from college for the summer is taking pet photos for some local lawyers and other affluent types. He took some digital shots of Bertrand and Buttons which I thought were splendid but got rid of them before I had a chance to get copies. "They were flawed," he said. (Not the pets, the pictures)
Well, what may be a flaw to a freelance photographer is nothing to me -- I would have liked to have such high-grade shots of the rats. Maybe I can get a few more before he returns to school in the late summer.
