Yesterday the pet rat bit Honor. I was in the bedroom doing my makeup, he was at the front of the house in the playroom. He started crying and I could tell he was hurt, but I figured that he had just fallen down (which he does frequently) and I could hear that he was coming my way. I turned around and saw that his hand was totally COVERED in blood.

He kept saying “owie, mouse, owie, mouse”, and after I cleaned him up, I followed the trail of blood (on my newly cleaned CARPET) and it ended at the rat cage. It took forever to get the bleeding to stop and it was swollen all day yesterday. But today it’s looking much better, thankfully.

Eden keeps telling everyone, “The rat bit Honor. The rat has to go bye-bye.”

The thing that’s surprising to me is that I didn’t freak out at all the blood. I think I’m beginning to expect these things from him.
