Joey, Chandler, Starling and D'Lucien, living versions of rattie beanie babies. Super sweet personalities, calm and loving
snuggle bums.
Joey and Chandler were born here, Chandler was suppose to be adopted out and I informed Bella that if she didn't find
him a home I was going to name him Chandler because I had already adopted his brother Joey. That strategy didn't work very
well as Chandler is now a full-fledge Tribe Member. I can only tell the two apart by weight and lickiness. Joey is bigger
and will lick you to death.

Left and above
BN/ZT Joey is a Dumbo Russian Blue Burmese. Careful, don't fall in love. He's MINE!!

Above and Left - BN Starling is a Dumbo Mink Self. He's the quietest and meekest of the group and seems to be fond of giving
me a heart attack by sleeping almost comatose out in the open areas of the cage. I never actually had to nudge a young rat
awake until Starling arrived. I can never figure out why he gives me the WTF? look when I do it.

Above and Left - BN/PX D'Lucien is a Dumbo Rexed Russian Blue Dalmation. Lucien carries the signature Velociraptor claws
of the Florida Dalmation line. Giving him a bath is akin to wrestling a rabid bobcat. Besides a virulent dislike of water,
he is an amiable happy-go-lucky fella.

Above and left - BN/ZT Chandler is also a Dumbo Russian Blue Burmese. He is a bit smaller than Joey and not quite as affectionate.
It may have something to do with the fact he has to compete with the bigger boys for attention and he doesn't like getting
stepped on by them. Poor fella!

Zoo is not the only nickname that I have been given. My coworkers of several years called me Sunshine. Amusingly, the name
would follow me to other places of employment having no connection to the first. I reckon it's my sunny personality. Right?
