Ruth lives with Mildred Scott
in Washington, NJ. Mil
writes, “The only female in her litter to exhibit Dumbo
characteristics, Ruth is now almost 1 year-old – and has a personality
even bigger than her ears! As a
baby, she was the first to begin challenging her sisters to wrestling
matches – after which she, of course, went off in search of tasty
treats. As an adult,
she’s grown into a “she-rat” who appears (to my admittedly
untrained eye, at least) so physically perfect I always call her my little
“show rat”. Unphased
by the beauty of her lovely form and slick coat, she enjoys lounging with
her cagemates and (even more) visits to the couch with her
“people”. In fact
she lets me know this by nipping gently at my fingers to get my attention
and beg to join me whenever I walk by her home. And, of course, she continues to
particularly enjoy treats – including cream-filled oatmeal cookie
sandwiches, and ice cream whenever possible.
“Since being
introduced to the wonders of the species via Molly and her boys, I’ve
been blessed with many amazing rat ambassadors. Surely none more winning, however,
than Ruth, whose shining spirit invariably inspires smiles – which I
suspect you’ll discover for yourself with one look at the photos
below.”
