The boys - Harley and Brodie



Doing what they do best.. sleep






Meet Harley, named by my good friend Carolyn after the love of her life. No not her boyfriend Jason - Harley Davidson motorcycles. And just like the bike, Harley is a speedy little bugger. At first glance he seems pretty sedate and not nearly as active as his brother, but if you let him out of the cage you will soon find out that he can outrun my entire family and lead all five of us on a crazy high speed chase for about .. oh I dunno.. three hours or so. He is also the smarter of the two, and very athletic - climbing and jumping under and over couches, books, shelves, people - basically anything that gets in his way.


This is Brodie, named after my hero and yours, from Kevin Smith's movie Mallrats. The rat is actually a lot like his namesake, except that he doesn't read comics, isn't obsessed with super hero sex organs (at least not that I know), doesn't drink coke from a little paper cup, doesn't play Sega.. hmmm, well they both sleep a lot. Brodie, while he has the looks, is unfortunately the dumber, slower, and less athletic of the duo. Unlike Harley he is slow and clumsy, and while Harley has the good sense to run away when he sees someone coming, Brodie will walk right up to the person and probably even climb on top of him/her. And for that I love him. Brodie also has a nasty habit of shoving food out of his dish for the hell of it, much to the amusement of one of my friends.
