Harriet Throw-back: Here is Harriet as a month old rat, right after I got her. She was a little inexperienced when I got her, to put it nicely. She was able to eat solid food but that was her only skill. To make a long story short she got pretty sick due to sleeping in her ceramic food bowl at night (immature decision making). Afterwards I decided to feed her pediasure (pictured) which eventually made her a little pudgy. She was adorable. She still is. 

Side note: Harriet received a beret from her aunt Carrie. There will be some French Harriet pictures to come!

Here is Harriet at her first picnic, last summer. I am hoping for more Harriet filled picnics this summer! She is enjoying some sunshine and a sun chip at this particular moment. 

More importantly I wanted to draw particular attention to the fact that Harriet has spent the majority of this cinco de mayo, if you will, preparing for the reunion between herself (Harriet Louise Beitzel) and Carolyn M. Kolb which will be taking place tomorrow. Harriet is currently practicing a jig….
