Well we all know the famed 6 have pets. Let's see if I can remember them all...

Twilight and Owlichious

Fluttershy and Angel

AppleJack and Winnonia

Rainbow Dash and Tank

Pinkie Pie and Gummy

and lastly...

Rarity and Ofel.

Well, not trying to 'outdo' the famed 6 MLP ponies here, but being a proud owner of 6 pocket pets known as, rats, are the best pets I could ever hope or ask for.

There's never a dull moment with these little buggers, each having their own personality. My two eldest boys, Gizmo and Nes, are both close bonding brothers, though not from the same litter. Gizmo would be the jock out of the two, and open to new rats or ponies any time. He loves the attention and loves to show off. Where as you have Nes, who's the fat, lazy boy who prefers to sleep then to meet new people, but won't hesitate to come up for scritters, long as you give him a treat in return heh.

Then you have my two girls, hairless rats known as Zera and Lyra. They were sadly given away by their former owner due she couldn't keep them anymore, but they quickly found a home here with me easily. Zera too is the jock of the girls, and hates to be restrained or held. She's the RD of my little herd, always trying to push her limits on how high she can climb or our fast she can dodge my hooves. Whilst Lyra is the sweetest little cupcake in the world. Though she loves to bound and play, if you scoop her up in your hooves, she will lick you and lick you till the cows come home!

Then my newest two boys added to the group, Q and Discord, brothers of the same litter, but no relations to the Star Trek alien god, or his counter part trouble maker. My little Q is the ultimate trouble maker, running as fast as he can, while never afraid of anything. He loves to push his limits and see how close he can get before I try to pick him up. He's a fetch case kind of a rat. Where as his brother Discord prefers to keep to himself, very shy and lazy, but adorable just the same.

Why am I talking about these rats?

Because they make me smile...

Today was a rough day and after two days of having them home, I can honestly say I'm smiling more having them back with me, after us being seperated from each other nearly 4 weeks due to a stressful move. Whilst me and my husband were bickering about things that have to be done and our jobs and the future... I kept looking back to their cage and seeing them stare at us... Words couldn't express... They knew we were stressed, and knew we were upset...did that stop them from coming up to us and licking our fingers? No... not at all. Discord was more then happy to snuggle in my arms, and Gizmo popped his head out of the hammock to give me much needed affection.

They truely are the best pets in the world!
