Once upon a time...

Guys, I have big news. I'm in LOVE! Her name is Lilly, and she's a Long-Evans rat that I received as part of my Psychology of Learning class. Before the class, I really didn't have any opinion on rats. My family is filled with animal lovers, so the idea of having a rat was always intriguing. By the end of lab, I'd reached my final decision: rats are the cutest, sweetest, best little animals! I was able to pick Lilly up right away, and her adorable little whiskers and dark eyes won me over immediately. Although I originally thought I had some good name ideas before lab (Matilda, Alice, and Rose were some of my favorites), I met her and knew that none of those names matched her personality. I'm not exactly sure how/when the name "Lilly" came to me, but once it did I knew it fit her perfectly.

I can't wait to spend more time with my new little friend. And don't worry, pictures are coming soon!
