Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

Is that a grey and white hooded rat? Such a pretty little one I raised 3 boys and many pet rats, and I found them to be cleaner, sweeter and easier to raise than most all other animals! We would rescue them from university labs. The UAA would advertise that the "retired lab rats" were up for adoption and we would adopt two or three at a time. Many died of cancers and tumors but at least they had some freedoms before they passed on!

Yes it is! Sketch was one of my first two rats and also the first to die (mammary tumor). Her “sister” Ink was a little black dumbo and the reason I fell in love in rats as pets. Ink knew her name, was perfectly litter trained, was constantly playing with me and loved everyone she met. Such a sweetheart haha.
I rescued mine from a local “rat rescue” and yea, they don’t last long. That’s the real reason I don’t own them anymore, it’s hard to go through losing something so smart with a 2 year lifespan over and over. Also, it’s a little painful owning such an awesome animal that everyone else hates.
Sleepy eyed Sketch and Ink.

Ducks and goats are next on my list. Then RIR & partridge chanteclers.

I would love ducks and goats. I particularly want East Indie Black ducks, and I'm fond of pygmy goats. But I won't get either. One, I've got way too many animals already.... which is why I turned down the two female pygmy goat kids I was offered... and I live in a desert. I know a lot of people around here have ducks regardless, but it just doesn't seem fair to me to get ducks when there's no open water for about twenty miles in any direction. Kid pools just don't cut it in a climate this dusty. But if I ever have a place with a pond....

Is that an English Mastiff or different breed? And the red one is some sort of French breed, right? Can't remember the exact name right now

Yes, the red one is a very poorly bred rescue Dogue de Bordeaux or French mastiff and the cute blonde is an English mastiff. The one in the middle is a mutt redneck.

Is the Redneck a registered breed? I don't think I'm familiar with them
