The adventures of Tiny the rat

I found the otherside place!!

2008-10-04T07:34:00.000-07:00

I know I told you all I was feeling poorly....Mums been taking extra special care of me I got to sleep in her bed!! Well I finally found the otherside place I went to sleep and when I woke up there was lots of places to exlore and lots of other rats to play with....Then Rogue and Menace came and found me...I was really happy about that coz I missed them lots! I asked where Mum was and Tallulah and Pandora But they said that they couldn't come yet which made me a little bit sad but I will be here to show them round when they do get here....coz I'm in charge!!! In the meantime I have lots of stuff to go explore... thankyou all for reading my blog!

Feeling poorly

2008-09-29T09:26:00.000-07:00

I'm not really feeling very well at the moment so mum took me to the nasty smelling vet people and they put sharp things in me....I didn't like that...and if that wasn't bad enough mum brought a prickly creature home too!!! I've been getting lots of cuddles though so thats ok!!!

Another Bath!!!

2008-09-15T04:09:00.001-07:00

I Know I've talked about baths before but really!!! We had another one today and they're horrible! Mum puts us in water puts soapy stuff on us and we all smell funny afterwards!! Still we get mum wet too he he!!

Rat in a bag

2008-08-28T02:55:00.000-07:00

Tallulah and I have found our favourite new toy...... Mums bags! They are great fun to hide in and we keep hoping she won't realise we're there and take us to the big outside place!! Mum thinks it's very funny that she has "rats in a bag!" We heard her say there are other rats that live in the big outside place....I asked mum if they were coming to stay with us but she said no..........spoilsport!!!

Tummy tickles!

2008-07-13T02:34:00.000-07:00

I'm not ticklish...........! No really!!

the door!

2008-06-15T12:20:00.000-07:00

There is a big door in our room and I've been trying to find out whats outside it ever since we came here, but Mum says we're not allowed out there! Anyway I've been showing Tallulah around all the best hidey spots and I thought maybe betwwen two of us we could get it open without mum seeing????

Sad day!

2008-05-27T08:09:00.000-07:00

Today we are all very sad! Mum took Rogue to the nasty smelling vet people this morning because she hasn't been very well, even though I've been looking after her! anyway Rogue didn't come home with mum and she said that Rogue had gone to the other side place to be with menace! I will miss her lots as she was my friend for a long time and now it's up to me to look after everyone coz I'm the oldest (and most important!) Mum is also very sad too because Rogue and menace were her first rats and now both of them have gone to the other side place! I will have to try extra hard to find it now so I can find rogue and menace for mum but mum says I won't find it for a long time yet??

Tallulah, pandora and mum!

2008-05-13T02:25:00.001-07:00

Tallulah and Pandora have discovered a new game to play on mum! When we come out for our daily explore they play tag hide and seek. Taking it in turns one will hide under the closet with the monsters in for, then come back and then the other will have a turn.....I'm sure mum thinks this is great fun as I've heard her talking to whichever one is under the closet saying "you think you're really funny don't you!!??"

Mum goes away!!

2008-04-04T05:52:00.001-07:00

Rogue is fine now, Mum says she's like a new rat!! but we're very upset!! Mum went away on a thing called a holiday for 4 days and left us with the other humans!! The other humans are nice and give us lots of treats but we thought it was unfair of mum not to take us too....so we chewed a hole in her bedsheets that will teach her!!

Rogue comes home

2008-03-17T04:04:00.000-07:00

Rogue came home today!!! She has had to live in a seperate house for a while because the funny smelling vet people put lots of things called staples and stitches in her when they took her lump away....she didn't like being on her own and is much happier now she can have a cuddle with us all again! She looks a bit funny coz she has a big scar but when I told her this she bit me!!! she missed us all really!

Rogue has surgery!

2008-02-28T10:53:00.001-08:00

I'm sure I've mentioned before that Rogue has a big lump at the moment, well on Tuesday Mum is taking her to the nasty smelling vet people to have it taken away. Mum has told us that it's quite dangerous and Rogue might not come back so we are all quite worried. especially me coz Rogue is my oldest friend. I have been cleaning her extra thourghly to make her feel better!

New friends

2008-01-08T13:01:00.000-08:00

This is Tallulah and Pandora and they are our new friends, they will be coming to live with us soon, they were left by some horrible people and so our mum decided to look after them, mum says Pandora is as much trouble as me, I don't know what she means...I'm never trouble!! Anyway I'm really looking forward to some new friends to play with!

XMAS!!!

2007-12-25T09:13:00.000-08:00

Today was a thing called Xmas I'm not sure what it means but I haven't had one before or if I did it was in the place called the "pet shop" before mum came and took me to live at home with her and Rogue and Menace! We got lots of nice new things coz of this Xmas.....I think we should have it more often!!!

Nest building 101

2007-11-19T09:21:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I think we must have the meanest mum in the whole world!!!! We spend all week building a nice cozy nest and then she comes along and empties it and we have to start all over again!!!!!

Lumps and bumps

2007-10-25T13:31:00.000-07:00

I think mum is quite worried at the moment! Rogue has a big lump on her belly, Mum says that Menace had the same just before she left for the otherside place and I thik thats why she's worried! Rogue doesn't seem to mind though she still steals my food! I tried to get some sweetcorn the other day and she SAT on me!!!! but apart from this I would be very sad if she left to find Menace!!

The closet with the monsters in!

2007-10-13T10:25:00.000-07:00

Now that I've explored inside the closet and told the monsters I'm in charge and redesigned Mums cardies with fashionable holes I figured it was about time I investigated the top of the closet...Mum still can't work out how I got up there!!!

Hide and seek

2007-09-20T10:51:00.000-07:00

I've been teaching Mum how to play hide and seek!
I climb on the floor while she's not looking then I go and hide in one of her drawers, or in the closet with the monsters in and then Mum has to guess which one I'm in!

Baths

2007-09-08T11:02:00.000-07:00

This is me hiding behind the bath in our old house. Hiding behind baths is much more fun than having baths! Mum gave us one the other day and I didn't like it, I squeeked alot but Mum didn't pay any attention! I sulked in my hammock for ages after! What do Rats need baths for any way? Only stinky humans should have them, no matter how much I clean mum she's always dirty!

Our Mums mean!

2007-09-03T15:25:00.000-07:00

Mum took away our Favourite blue hammock! The one we'd chewed just how we wanted it!

We got a new hidey house instead, it looks a bit like this one except it's all warm and furry inside and hangs like a hammock! It's nice and big and comfy but it's not the same!

The great escape

2007-08-23T06:41:00.000-07:00

Moses is on holiday at the moment, which means we got to explore downsatirs! I managed to escape off the sofa without mum seeing and explore all the rooms untill I found the one with all the food in! When Mum found me she gave me a really big telling off, she said she'd been really worried coz the food place is next to the door to the outside place and she said I must never go near it again because theres food out there that would make me sick, things that would eat me and it's so big Mum would never find me again!!! I wondered for a bit if thats where Menace might be but I quickly realised the outside place sounded scary and the other side place where Menace has gone isn't scary at all! So I was sorry I frightened Mum and cleaned her ears to apologise, She made a loud squeek just like Rogue does when I clean her so I must have done a good job!

Moses

2007-08-22T10:43:00.000-07:00

This is Moses! I'm not sure what he is, he's a bit like a big rat but smellier and slobberier, he lives in our house and comes to say hello to us sometimes with mum. I'd like to make friends with him but mum says we're not allowed!

Rogue says its because he wants to eat us!

I'm sure thats not true he seems very friendly but then there are two things with feathers that live downstairs I wouldn't mind eating so who knows?

Exploring our new home

2007-08-13T03:09:00.000-07:00

Our new home is in a closet (no monsters in this one, they're all hiding in the other one!) next to mums bed, anyway yesterday we were exploring it and I wanted to go and tell mum that Menace wasn't here either, but she was sitting on her bed and I couldn't get to her so I climbed up on the closet door, climbed across and jumped on mums broom and hat (she's a witch you see) and jumped from there onto the bed so I could go and see Mum....she must think I'm really clever coz she immediately scooped me up and put me on my favourite place...her shoulder!!!

Our big day out

2007-08-06T03:43:00.000-07:00

We had a very exciting day yesterday, we got to ride in a big metal thing with wheels, for a very long time and mum said that we were going to a new place where there'd be lots of new people to play with. But she said it would mean we couldn't see our Rat daddy any more and that made me sad! I asked mum if he was going to look for Menace (because Menace was his favourite!) but she said no he was just going to be a different kind of far away....I don't really understand what she meant but I think it might have something to do with why she's been so sad.
Anyway I'm really looking forward to exploring a new place and telling all the new people I'm in charge, Mum said we might have some new rat friends soon!

exploring!

2007-07-24T11:58:00.000-07:00

I was helping mum to clean our cage out today, when I found a new place to explore, the big wet place! First I climbed up the long bit that the water comes out of but there was nothing at the end of that so then I jumped on mums shoulder, from there I jumped on the door to the wet place and climbed up to the top, I explored all the top of the wet place but there was nothing there to eat, and then I couldn't climb down so I did what mum called a "firemans pole slide" down the door and went to explore under the bookcase!

'Puter lessons!

2007-07-18T03:52:00.001-07:00

I'm a very helpful rat, I'm always cleaning mum (she's so dirty) and trying to show her things! (like where the monsters in the closet are)
I thought today I'd help with the 'puter! I climbed on it and showed mum which buttons to push and it made a loud noise that sounded like BONK! I'm sure that means I must've done something really useful! Then I saw something much more interesting on the 'puter desk lots of nooks and crannies to explore! but mum grabbed me before I got a chance to see what was in them, ....my mums so annoying sometimes.....doesn't she know I'm trying to find Menace?

Fatty!

2007-07-16T01:40:00.000-07:00

I realised this morning that the only food left was the bits I didn't like, but I knew mum wouldn't give us some more til it was gone! So I pushed the bowl down the ladder so the food went on the floor! then I did my best "Mum I'm HUNGRY" look at the bars. Mum just sighed, filled up the bowl and called me a greedy fatty!

A fright!

2007-07-13T01:52:00.000-07:00

I scared the life out of my rat dad yesterday!
He came and gave us some nice tasting things but Rogue tried to steal mine off me and I wouldn't let her (doesn't she know I'm in charge!) so she pushed me off the shelf! Dad thought I'd hurt myself coz I wasn't moving...he didn't see I was too busy eating the tasty thing he'd given me to notice I'd fallen!
Rogue is such a bully! but if Dad keeps giving us tasty things then soon I'll be bigger than she is and she won't be able to push me over anymore..it's hard work trying to be in charge when your small!

Tomatoes

2007-07-12T02:08:00.001-07:00

Mum gave us Tomatoes last night, and I really like tomatoes so I ate them ALL and didn't leave any for Rogue....now I have a bad tummy!

Rogue was right!

2007-07-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

We got Yoghurt on spoons!

Funny smelling vet people and the story of menace!

2007-07-10T09:41:00.001-07:00

Mum put me in the plastic box today and we went outside, I thought she might let me explore but she said I'd get lost! Instead we went to the horrible vet place where they smell funny! They put a cold thing on me which I didn't like so I tried to eat it! but mum told me off and put me back in the box, she wouldn't even let the nice nurse lady say hello because she said I might escape....as if!
When I got home Rogue pretended she wasn't worried I was gone, and when she finished cleaning the vet man smell off me she said
"I take it you didn't find Menace while you were gone?"
and I said "No mum says that we'll see Menace again but not for a very long time because she's gone to a place called the other side!"
and Rogue looked sad for a bit then she said "well at least we'll get yoghurt now!" I asked her what she meant and she just said "you stupid rat haven't you noticed everytime mum takes one of us to the funny smelling vet people we get Yoghurt on spoons? honestly some rats are so unobservant!" and with that she trundled back to her hammock!
The picture by the way if you haven't guessed is Menace before she went to the other side place...I wonder where it is? I'll have to look for it on my adventures!

Rogue

2007-07-09T06:59:00.001-07:00

This is Rogue and she lives with me, I used to have another friend called menace but she stopped being able to play with us so mum took her to the vets and she didn't come back...I was very sad coz Menace was my bestest friend and looked after me when I first came here! When Menace didn't come back I realised it was up to me to look after the place but Rogue doesn't seem to understand this and gets very upset coz she misses her sister...I tried to tell her I was in charge this morning but she got angry and pushed me off the hammock! Thats gratitude for you!

I am TIny!

2007-07-09T06:45:00.000-07:00

This is me! I am Tiny and this is my blog, it's a hard life being me, no one seems to appreciate my efforts to explore the undiscovered places in the house or my struggle to be in charge so I figure I must be one of those not appreciated in their own time types and just so future peoples know just how great I was I thought I'd better write it all down!
