BATHNIGHT FOR DEXTER

Towel wrapped rat!

We have a new rat now, rescued from my old Vets where I used to work. His name is Dexter and he is brown and white hooded. I gave him a bath last night which he wasn't too keen on but he was a very brave rat and let me shampoo him (he was rather smelly). After a little swim to rinse all the soap off (never let anyone tell you rats can't swim. That old Pied Piper story was just a scam. In my version, the rats swam downstream to the next town for the whole thing to begin again!), he lept into the waiting towel. He liked being dried with the fluffy towel and played tug-and-groom with it for ages!

He is sweeter smelling now which may be causing him trouble keeping his top rat status, I think the others think he smells like a tart's boudoir as the saying goes. This is doing nothing for his street cred!
