Rats on the brain. I have Pickles, the snake-food rescue. She's 19-months-old. And I'll choose one of Ava's two girls on Monday or Tuesday; whichever one I choose (top-eared like Pickles) will come home in under three weeks. Saff's girl--she will have all dumbo-earred, plus smooth and Rex coats--is being mated today, I think, so if it takes, 21 days for gestation (approx.) then add four weeks so under six weeks' wait for one of hers: More choices too in terms of coats if she has plenty (she is a big girl), and plenty of females.

Looking forward to Movie Night; I need the companionship with our friend and the film my husband and I chose, which our friend has not seen, is excellent, a favorite.
