Peanut Butter Jelly with a Baseball Bat!

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

Or maybe just Jelly.


Introducing Jelly.

Ashley needed someone to look after her pet rat and found it in Lambert -- namely Lindsay. But, since Lindsay isn't here I get to have a few short hours as the sole care provider for Jelly. Now I'm a full-fledged geek with a blog and a pet rat. At least her name isn't some weird Clingon character's name from Star Trek.

So, the story behind Jelly. When she was just a wee baby -- about a year ago -- she was owned by some guys down at the odd quad...who of course fed her beer and marijuana. At the end of the year, they "set her free" in the quad. Ashley found her cowering in a cinder block by the door to the dorm, waiting for the previous owners to come back and feed her. So Ashley rescued her and keep her as the entry pet.

She's pretty awesome. She actually comes to you if you set her on the ground and call her (aka: move your fingers around wildly or pretending you have food -- or marijuana -- in your hand). She also licks you if she likes you. She's like a wee dog. Awesome.

Jelly made my day better -- I almost don't mind that three of the spreads I was working on this morning just got erased. Almost.

More Jelly.


Jelly's Snout. (Notice her cute little rat paws.)


Jelly being fuzzier than normal.

It's really hard to get good pictures of a moving rat.
