Penny Cooper read up on rats and declared them nicer than mice: "Let's make this a rat mischief parade."
A group of rats is called a Mischief. We only have one, but it's the better name.
Let us consider The Rat.
Rats are smart, they can count to ten; empathetic--they share treats; clean--they can run a Hoover (not really); and they laugh when they're tickled.
So yes. We are here to Celebrate the Rat.
bink picked up me and the girlettes & friends at 8 a.m. today, and we went to the Japanese Garden near my house. (It's part of the same garden complex as the Turtle Fountain (its official name is the Peace Garden).
It looks like I saturated the color on the top photo, but it's from the morning sun.
Close ups:
It was helpful to have a second pair of hands--those parade balloons take some handling! bink'd helped with costumes too.
It went exceptionally well--everyone was focused. And soon after we finished, rain came bucketing down.

I'm not very familiar with this garden. It has lots of these big rocks and great paths---great for toys. I'm coming here again.
Okay then. Happy Celebration of Rats Day.
Make some mischief!
