I've heard that rats are actually great pets. I've thought of getting one. I like the rats with the black heads and white bodies- hooded rats. The bad thing is they don't live very long- about 2 years.

Anyways, I like squirrels, I don't care what anyone says. Thbbt! I feed them and actually get a kick out of them. However, I don't like that they get into the garbage and make a mess of it. And last year we found a dead squirrel in the driveway as we were about to go out for a ride. IT wasn't squished, it was just dead, we have no idea how or what happened. I guess it just died.
