During my first year of college, I had a pet rat. I rescued her from my sorority president's pet snakes
. She was the best pet for a dorm room and eventually in an apartment. She was trained to only potty in her cage. The only thing I couldn't get her to stop doing was chewing on the corners of my wooden dresser. I guess it was just too much temptation for her to take
. I loved to take her to the cafeteria in my jacket pocket. Her favorite food was Froot Loops. She was so cute holding one of them in her little hands. She lived with me for 3 years, I cried when I had have her put to sleep. She had a stroke as near as we could tell because she lost alot of her mobility on one side. Lilith is fondly remembered.
