YouTube - Rat Bruxing and Boggling... (I miss Silky)

I'm missing Silky something fierce right now. Normally I'd have her sitting on my shoulder as I check my email and mess around on the computer. I miss her small, warm weight on my shoulder and the sounds of her grinding her teeth in contentment.

I remember the first time I saw Silky boggling, I thought something was wrong with her. haha. But apparently it's a sign of happiness. It's usually accompanied by bruxing (when they grind their teeth together - kind of like cats purring - is a good thing... usuallly.) She always did it when I was holding her and stroking her head. At least my baby was happy.

Yeah, hubby warned me about it when we got our first joint rattie, so I kinda knew what to expect, but it's still kind of freaky when they do it, heh.

That's an adorable dumbo in the video.

*hugs* for you and Silky.
