The Day We Met...

So this blog is all about the sweetest rat around BSC's campus, Peaches.  Today was our class' first encounter with the lab rats, they were a little bigger than I expected but still as cute as a button.  After seeing them I knew when I finally meet my Peaches that it would be love at first sight.  No, Peaches was a little nervous but that was to be expected.  When my partner, Megan, handed her to me Peaches tried to run for her life, but I got a hold of her and brought her close to my body.  She seemed to calm down when she realized that I wasn't a threat and she was safe.  I rubbed the top of her head with my finger and made a little sound hoping to calm her down some more.  I knew the second I held her that Megan and I had picked the right name because her fur was just as soft as peach fuzz :).  The rest of the week Megan and I will be going in every day or so to visit and hold her so she will be easier to train.  More tales and pictures of Peaches to come!
