    HEY! I am a rat…married to a rat. LOL And we have a horse and 2 monkeys. 🙂

    The rat may not be the cutest one (although I always seek out the cutest version of the rat LOL) but it was the winner according to the zodiac story…;)

    I’m a rat with 2 monkeys and married to a rooster. I prefer to think of myself as a large cute mouse though. :o) Is there such a thing?

    Have you heard the folklore that the way the Rat became the first in the zodiac cycle was that it convinced the Ox to let him ride on his back – and when they got close to shore he jumped off so he touched the ground first. (all of the animals were having a race across a river)
