story about your rat by email or snail mail to the addresses at the

Clancy lives with
Mildred Scott in Washington NJ.
Mildred writes, “Clancy is the warmest and most obliging pet
anyone could possibly own.
He enjoys life to the fullest by spending countless hours
playing ball, offering endless amounts of affection to his people
and, of course, engaging in that favorite rat activity...eating! He
also shows a truly touching willingness to please—even when he has
absolutely no idea why his adoptive mom would want to try disguising
a rat as a mouse!  As
you can see in the photo, however, that doesn’t stop him from
silently asking precisely that question when I started dressing him
up for Halloween photos.
Still, he proved a great sport as always, and rest assured,
when the nasty ‘trick’ of costume modeling was over, he was rewarded
with lots of ‘treats!’

“Personally, I must
admit I agree with him on preferring his own ‘everyday wear’
however.   I’m not
sure the technical term for his markings—it seems he’s a hooded but
the way his dark and white intermingle he looks a bit more like a
single saddle shoe!  In
any case, I think he’s lovely inside and out—and quite a
character…as his sleeping position proves!  He is curled up close to his
favorite ball...an object he plays with every single night,
repeatedly picking it up in his teeth, tossing it a short distance
away, and going to retrieve it.  Beyond question, everyone could use a Clancy
– but since there’s only one, I’m sure grateful that he’s
mine.”
