Life Without Lovely Roo-Roo

 

Tallulah here! I haven't been online for ages... not since my lovely sister, Roo-Roo, went to rat cabin to get her wings. Mom and dad have been very sad, so I have had to look after them and give them lots of cuddles. Things are very quiet here without Roo-Roo. There's nobody to bite my bum... though mom does try her best, her teeth aren't small enough to get a good grip. I spend most of the day on the bed, under my new duvet cover - dad bought it for me after I demonstrated a great interest in bed sheets by chewing a hole in the one that mom and dad sleep on. When I'm not under my duvet, I'm having cuddles - that's what I'm doing in the photos above... having a cuddle with dad. He said I could have a new little sister if I wanted one, but I'm not keen on the idea. I had the best - Roo-Roo - I'd always be comparing the new girl to her... and nobody could ever measure up. Better to stay on my own, with mom and dad and a big bowl of couscous. That's my new favourite nom-nom. Dad gave me some that had sultanas in and it was yummy. Speaking of which, there's some fresh stuff in my bowl, so I'm off.

Roo-Roo Has Gone to Rat Cabin to Get Her Wings

  

Tallulah and Roo in the Bunk-hammocks

  

Roo here! Every evening, when it's almost time for dinner, we wake up from our afternoon naps and have a good old clean whilst sitting in the bunk-hammocks. Tallulah's is the top bunk and mine is the bottom one, though I have been known to sneak into the top one every now and then. We have a thorough clean before eating our dinner - who wants to handle the precious green orbs with dirty hands, after all?!

I like my bottom bunk. It's close to the green orbs, and if I fall out of it I don't bounce off my head and break anything. But every so often, when I feel like a change, I climb into Tallulah's bed. Last night, Tallulah got up to snaffle a few green orbs, so I took the opportunity to rush up into her bunk and get all warm and comfortable. Tallulah loves me so much that, when she found me in her bed, she crept off quietly and slept in mine. She's the best sister a rattie could wish for. I'm getting all soppy now and ruining my street cred.
