We have a small white dog that we think is a maltese, bichon mix, his name is Sami and he's 12. We have a 5 year old black and silver mini schnauzer, Julie. Then I too, am a rat person. I've had them since 1999 and I'm hooked. I currently have three boys, two black hooded rescues, Linus and London and then there's Leon, a lilac high white. I went to the reptile shop to get food for them, and one of the associates who I know really well begged me to take him, that he was so cute, with unusual coloring she couldn't bare to see him go into the feeder bin.
