"For many hours the immediate vicinity of the low framework upon which I lay had been literally swarming with rats. They were wild, bold, ravenous , their red eyes glaring upon me as if they waited but for motionlessness on my part to make me their prey." From, The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe.
NAME: Edgar, after Mr. Poe, naturally.
TYPE: HimilayanBORN: late October, 1999
PASSED: August, 2002
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES (as a baby): At the moment, being a youngster, Edgar is in his puppy stage. He loves to run and play chase. And play chase some more. And wrestle fingers to the ground as if they were packs of tiny mice he must conquer. He also greatly loves exploring, and having any chance to be with his adopted human parents getting chin scratches.
FAVORITE ACTIVITES (as an adult): Edgar grew into a serious and sweet lad. He's very shy with strangers, but adores us, and the treats and scratches we provide as well! His favorite thing in the whole world is to be on the bed with us, watching television with the lights out (his red eyes are very sensitive to light). He cuddles and gives kisses, and it's one of the only times he lets loose and romps and plays with abandon. Amazingly, even though Huxley is much more outgoing, Edgar is still the boss of him!
FAVORITE FOODS: Edgar has taken a serious liking to Templeton's vitamin puffs, and loves dog kibble, wheat bread, and granola...he also recently discovered the magic of mashed potatoes.
(coming soon, in his own words...)
