Well, I finally decided to get off my ass and create an account here. I really needed a place to vent about all the bullshit that's going on here. Lately, things have been pretty odd. I got fired from my job about 2 weeks ago and have been looking for another one. I'd really like to be able to stay home and work, but that's just not an option right now. I'm on Unemployment right now and am trying to sell some of my newest babies. So far, it's not going so well. I've been able to sell 4 babies out of 17 so far. I'm keeping 4 for myself so that leaves 9 left. There are agoutis and blacks left, the blacks being dumbo. They are super cute so I'm really hoping they go fast. At least they carry some really good genes.
I finally figured out the names for my newest rats. My little Russian silver rex girl is American Prayer(Mary for short), my black variegated doe is SFR Karmageddon (Link for short), the Havana self buck is Boogie Nights aka Boogie, and the blue dumbo buck is Ratamahatta (named after a Sepultura song). My keepers out of my 2 newest litters are DCR Black Sabbath-black self rex dumbo doe, DCR Morrison Hotel-blue agouti self buck, DCR Shaman's Blues-blue berkshire dumbo buck, and DCR Love Her Madly-blue agouti self doe.
Well, enough about rats. I have a tendency to go on and on about them. I've been thinking about finding a new boyfriend. I've been really hesitant lately, but my 'ex' Mike keeps talking about this girl at his work that he likes and I've come to the realization that there will never be anything more between us. We are still friends and I talk with him every day. We still have sex so at least I'm really not lacking anything. I don't like looking and don't know where to even look. I don't go out so the bar thing isn't gonna work. I pretty much just hang out on my computer, play with rats and work on my website. I could try looking online, but it's kinda risky. Although, that's how I met Mike and we were together for 3 years. It's just been such a long time since I've had to look for someone. I'm horribly impatient, so this is gonna be rough. Oh well.
I found out today that Gabby has it posted on her website that I broke my quarantine by bringing in new rats but it's all bullshit. She also said that she would consider my rattery a source of infection. I came out of quarantine in the beginning of March (the 6th). That's when I brought NightVision and Razzmatazz home. They had been in quarantine at my boyfriend's house for 4 weeks. Karin, who had them before me, hadn't brought in any new rats since the fall, so I knew they were ok. My first litter of the year was born on 3/31 and the other on 4/2. I had brought my other rat home (SGR Temptation's Wings) on 4/1. Cindy brought her up to me that day after holding her for me since January. She was nearly 4 months when I got her. I didn't want to break quarantine so Cindy offered to Q her for me til I could get her. Everything has gone really well. I haven't had any problems and I believe that any chances of SDA are eliminated. I honestly don't care about KRV because it hasn't caused any problems here since last spring. I don't think it was even KRV that caused those problems. I think it was the bedding that I was using at the time. It's funny, as soon as I changed beddings, the problems stopped. Interesting...
I'm planning on posting on my website that I'll be filing a defamation of character and a slander lawsuit if she doesn't pull that off her website. She even has my website on there. That is definitely lawsuit material. She's making false accusations and mentions me by name, so it looks like I get to go talk with a lawyer. Since she has NO evidence that I have broken quarantine (since I did not), everything that she has on there is a lie. She's such a cunt.
