Who am I?

A question I frequently ask myself...

My name's Annette. I've been keeping rats since 2001, when we got three as pets for my children. I'm a member of the National Fancy Rat Society, with whom I have registered my rattery name of Brandywine Rats. I'm also a member of the Midlands Rat Club, and have been on the committee of the MRC since 2002, currently serving as treasurer and also maintaining the website. More recently I've joined the North of England Rat Society, mostly because I like their magazine. I pop up on several rat forums (fora?) under the name Rattycorner. For a while I ran a ratabilia shop online and at MRC shows, but now I have a 'proper' job instead.

My rats are my pets more than anything else, though I do enter shows on occasion. Possibly once I begin to show my own-bred rats I will find more of a competitive streak inside me somewhere. We'll have to see.
