r/ratterriers

Freddy is a 4yr old Pomchi a Franklin is an 8month old ratty, jrt, mini aussie mix.

I had a floral tea party themed birthday, surprisingly the balloons were a hit with the pups!

I just noticed today. She's been running around all over our backyard and in the house. Shes in her crate when she naps, or on a dog bed with our bigger dog. What the heck kind of rash is this?

From this picture alone are you able to read her expression? Im just curious if yall will get the same vibe i get. Theres no wrong answers. lol.

I’m Willie Nelson the Teddy Rat🐾🐾🐾
I chase squirrels 🐿️ and house flies 🪰
I have big rabbit ears😂
Tomorrow is my official “gotcha day” 🙌

He's taking the fireworks like a BOSS . I thought I would have to comfort him, but he acts like it's just another day. Very proud !

Stay cool and hydrated!

97F and feels like 108F but Scone can't decide if she doesn't like the heat or loves it. Bonus Teefers for good measure.

Leonox: “Yall, my mom made me leave the house and get in the car today! I still don’t like that thing. There’s a lot of stopping and going and then stopping again. It makes me anxious because I don’t know why we have to stop so much… Apparently we were in the car because I needed to go to the vet and when we got there, mom made me stand still on this weird plate. The number made mom anxious because she was worried I wasn’t healthy since I’d lost 2lbs, but the lady with the treats told her that I was still perfect. After my shot, we got back in the car and got to go see my favorite people, the office ladies! They always give me toys and treats, but this time it was because mom wanted to see how I’d handle living in a house with stairs since we’re going to be moving from our small apartment to a bigger townhouse when 1 opens up for us. I’ll have more space to play and spread out my toys. Then, after we napped and ate, we went to my Grammy and paws where I got to see my 4 legged Aunt Gabi and 2 legged cousin. Now mom is about to read and I’m going to do what I do best… sleep 😴.”

Doo's last relative passed away earlier in the week. He is now the last one of his bloodline. It makes me so sad to know they're all gone except him. They were all wonderful loving dogs. I've been around this bloodline since the 80's and had them as family members since 2003. I can't believe my boy is the last one. He will be 19 in September.

I truly enjoyed making this artwork. Tucked between her human's legs, with a blanket keeping her warm, that whole cozy setup- but I cleaned up everything around it.

Painted entirely by hand in oil as a commissioned piece. I hope her personality comes through on canvas. Would love to hear what you think!

my little rattie mix had surgery last week; he had ten teeth extracted and a mass removal from his cheek.

it turns out the mass was sarcoma (cancer). 😭 we have a follow up with an oncologist next week. if anyone has experience with this I'd love to hear.

but also, please check your pups for lumps. this is our second dog diagnosed with cancer in three months. I can't even believe it.

as for his teeth, they showed dead on the cone CT and this is the second vet that asked if our pup eats rocks. not with us! we've only had him 1.5 years (he's a foster fail) and we wonder what his life was like before us. so thankful he's here now and that we're diligent and getting him the care he needs.

My girl in the second photo LOVES bell peppers. It's one of her favorite treats and good for her too :)! ❤️
