Olive (black self) & Blueberry (blue variegated) playing some vs basketball! These 2 are just 10 months apart (30 months and 2 weeks vs 20 months and 3 weeks....close enough lol) and sometimes its crazy to me just how much difference that seemingly short time can make for rats! pic.twitter.com/ZZ1Lk4myF8
