Greg and Reg our Raggy Rat Bros. are here!

We were so surprised when our package arrived on Tuesday!

We had hardly opened the package when they popped right out!

We showed them around, and introduced them.

They jumped right into our routine, and helped with school! Greg helped with handwriting

Reggie helped with math.

“Ooooh Greg, what’s that place?”
“It’s Under the Couch Reg….a dark and mysterious place….”

Greg and Reg took their seats and shared some pizza for dinner

And made so many new mousie friends! Before they all go, we wanted to get a pic!
Greg and Reg are constantly running here and there, playing with the children, and having so much fun. We think they’ll fit right in.
Thanks again Cat! They are just precious.

This cute little Sooty lamb is the first of a line of new lambs to be born soon here on the Moor! I posted pics of Sooty on flickr to see how folks liked her.

Our friend Cat over at contacted me and just loved Sooty. I asked Sooty if she’d like to go live with Cat in far away U.K. and she said that sounded like a wonderful adventure!
I’ve loved Cat’s Raggy’s for a long time. Her sweeties were some of the first I visited when we started our flickr account. I just love her little standing Ratties! They are full of personality, sweet and absolutely adorable. Cat has pet rats, and I can tell how much she loves them by the care and tenderness she puts into the expression of each little one she makes.
So….when Cat asked about a trade, I said “YES!!” right away! I love natural colors, and she made one grey, and one brown.
Here they are! Cat took a pic of Gregory and Reginald Raggy Rat. They are making the long trek across the water to us this week. We can’t wait to meet them in person. The children say Reggie looks like Remmie from Ratatouille so we also hope he loves to cook
So, we say a fond goodbye to Sooty, and get ready for Sooty’s sisters and brother lambs to be born soon. And we eagerly await our little box full of Greggie and Reggie!
More pics to come when they arrive and have a look around.
