Rats...
I mentioned earlier that wrestling and dominance-grooming are pretty de rigeur for my two rats.
I don't remember if I mentioned the article I read, which told about how rats wrestle, and social implications thereof. Apparently, even if one rat is enough bigger/stronger than another that he's just _always_ gonna win a wrestling match, he'll let the smaller/weaker rat win every once in a while anyway, so the smaller/weaker one is willing to keep playing.
Well, they've been wrestling, and Siegfried keeps winning, and then washing Reinhart, who HATES IT HATES IT YES WE DOES. I just heard an awfully surprised squeak, and turned to see Reinhart, standing atop Siegfried and washing him in the most smug of manners.
It's awfully too cute.
