I have a new rat. Her name is Rani (Raw-knee), which means queen. She is wonderful. I love her already. Stephanie finds her tail repulsive and doesn't want to have anything to do with her, but Stephanie stayed with me until I could get all the supplies together and held the box in the car coming home. What a trooper. Thank you Stephanie.

Note: there are no pictures on the internet that do justice to Rani's adorable face, so I'll have to post a picture later.
