Some of you have heard what happened to my beloved Sabean, the rat. We were in Spain when I found out. Grandma had killed her. She didn't mean to.. but she did. (No hard feelings Grandma!) Grandma forgot about poor ol' Sabean in the 110 degree weather. Sabean died of heat stroke. Grandma felt so bad she put Sabean in the pool to revive the rat. This was preceded by mouth to mouth.... The rat was dead.  (Yeah! Mouth to mouth!! lol heh that made me laugh) Anyways, on the way to debate at the Weilands, we saw a Petco. So we hopped in to have a look. And I found the most wonderful, sweet, and calm rat! Her name is Stump. Stump? Why Stump? Well it seems poor little Stump got into some kind of accident. Her little rat tail was chopped off! So all that is there is a one inch stub. Thus she is Stump! Right now she's asleep in my sweat shirt pocket and is as cute as can be.
