Ratty
Holy shit I'm scared! I have this pet rat, if you didn't already know, and hid name is Sir Rattigan. Ratty, for short. Either way, he's sick. Yesterday before I left for work, I noticed a lump on his belly. Yes, I'm sure Ratty is a he--therefore, there will be no Ratty jr.'s running around. The lump was about the size of an almond. Six hours later, when I got home, the damn thing had swollen up to the size of your average ping pong ball. We don't know what is wrong with him just yet, but I'm still really worried. My guardian seems to think it's just a seriously overgrown zit. But even though she's probably right, I still have something in the back of my mind telling me I'm going to lose my little friend.
