See you in a week

We are headed out on vacation today, back in a week. A vet tech from my mom's vet will be pet-sitting the furries, so they will be in good hands (hands very capable of administering medicine, thankfully), but we won't be making any updates.

Thank you all for you kind words about Arwen, and your good wishes for Misto and Leather. Both are doing ok: Leather isn't very pleased with her small cage (she tries to jump out every time I open the door), but I take that to mean the leg isn't hurting too much. It is still somewhat swollen, but the bruising has gone away.

Misto's breathing is still noisy...squeeky, grunty, or wheezy...and I think his sides are heaving a little more than normal. He doesn't have any of the oxygen-deficiency sighs, though...no blue color, his feet and tail are warm, and he certainly has energy and appetite.

I admit I have mixed feelings about going away...this is a vacation with my family and I look forward to being with them, but I wish the gang were in better health.

The posts have been ignoring the rest of the rats lately, so here are a few pictures I found when downloading the memory card:

Nekkid Arthur and fuzzy Rabskuttle. It looks like they are chatting over the back fence.

Sweet and shy Jack.

Oliver and dinner. You can see he doesn't miss many meals. (Poor guy, he misses Leather.)
