Snuggling Therapy Rats

05/31/2026

Took Comet and Pluto to That Fish Place - That Pet Place today for a last big training session before their pet therapy evaluation next weekend. Both did amazing and both stayed in the basket while happily accepting pets from many people. Comet even bruxed and boggled on the trip and both fell right to sleep in the basket as they got pet.
It was too hot to leave one in the car and while individually training so we came up with a solution, helps they are pouch trained.

Took each of the boys on a short walk before the heat of the day and both did good in their basket. Pluto hung his head off the side to watch and even started to brux and boggle. Comet in the beginning needed redirecting back in the basket due to being so curious and excited but half way through started to settle.
We are excited and nervous about the evaluation on the 7th but I feel these boys, especially Pluto, will pass. Fingers crossed both do well. We will have another store trip before the evaluation to practice some more as well.

Today we said goodbye to my sweet Orbit.
You were such a sweet rat and taught the boys so much. Now you can be with Cosmo again

We are hoping everyone had a fantastic Mothers Day yesterday.
So big news to share!
The boys are all set to be evaluated June 7th in Maryland. If one or both passes this means we will be able to go back to the nursing/retirement facilities again and they will be official members of Pet Partners just as Cosmo was.
Again a huge thanks and shoutout to Genesis Home of New Beginnings for letting us train and socialize. We highly appreciate you and love seeing everyone monthly (we will miss this month due to being on vacation at the end of the month so next time one of them goes they hopefully will be official).
