Katie got this gorgeous memorial portrait of her pet rat, Kamp Koala, by Tim Jordan at Optic Nerve Arts in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. It makes me miss my rat, Ginger Kang-Kang, who died of cancer about fifteen years ago. He spent a semester riding everywhere on my shoulder…

I’ve had a dozen or so rats in my life. They are amazing little companions.

That’s a beautiful portrait of an adorable rat! I’ve never had one as a pet, but maybe sometime in the future. They are too cute 🙂

Aww, it’s so sweet! I want a rat very badly. The only thing that’s stopping me from having a little rodent friend is the fact that I’m scared my dogs would hurt it. =[
