Cinderella and Bella

These things that they call "Rats" are Alexis' newest pets.... She decided to name them Cinderella, and Bella. The names have changed a few times since so I don't know what their names are for sure. Jonathon and Alexis just love them.. I on the otherhand am still getting used to these things... I thought people tried to get rodents OUT of their house... not invite them IN. But whatever I guess.. Today I finally actually picked one up... long enough to put it in Alexis' lap. Alexis laughs at me because I seriously freak out.... the other night Jonathon told me I had to get used to holding them because when he is gone I have to get them out for Lexi. Well I wasn't ready and he put it in my hand.. I freaked and let go of it.. and the dumb thing crawled into the couch cushion. The couch we have upstairs the cushions don't come off.. they are attached and the thing got all the way down into the bottom of the couch. Jonathon had to CUT (yes Cut) the bottom of our couch to get the thing out.... It is an older couch so I don't care.. but The rat was in the couch for almost 10 mins... LOL
