Hello, all you first, second and third graders in Ms. Walle’s class!

Why am I combing my fur, you ask?  Well, of course a rodent wants to look his best when he meets some V.C.K.s (Very Cool Kids.)  Notice the ratty bow tie!  And the neatly pressed shirt!  Not to mention the perky ears!  I even used a little hair gel between my ears for that spiky look.  What do you think?  Am I handsome enough to blog with you?

Okay, I’m ready to start jumping around on the keyboard (I like to type with all four paws.)  But I’m just a little tiny bit worried about something…

What if you don’t like rats?  Worse yet, what if you don’t like ME?  (heavy sigh.)

Oh well, if you don’t like me, please just don’t say anything about it.  We rats have very sensitive feelings.  But if you DO like me, hey, I’d like to know!  After all, I DID get all dressed up for you.  Plus, I LOVE to blog.  Do you?

Your friend,

Ratty

P.S.  I hope none of you are cats.
