Happy Valentines Day from the twins

This photo took 20 "takes." XD Pictured are 6-month-old sisters Momo and Shion. They are black variegated dumbo rex rats bred and raised by me (lines tracing back to the beginning of my rattery in 2002).

Their markings are identical to their grandfather but not at all like their mom or dad who have very little white on their faces. It was neat to have two such similar pups in one litter. Momo (left) is stockier and "rounder" than her sister, and her white includes her entire cheek area. Shion's blaze is narrower. Shion *might* be expecting a litter at the end of the month. They are sweet girls and were very patient with the photos, but wanted to wander off or investigate the camera.
