			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems the British have it right, they have chosen a very handsome Russian Blue Dumbo rat as: <em>The cutest small pet in Britain.</em></p>
<p>Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/4550641/The-cutest-small-pet-in-Britain.html">Telegraph online article</a> and a copy of a great picture of the &#8220;clever little varmit&#8221; as one of the judges described Vimmy, the winner.</p>
<div id="attachment_732" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><img class="size-full wp-image-732" title="Vimmy" src="http://rattitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dumbo_1291837c.jpg" alt="Vimmy - The cutest small animal in Britain" width="460" height="288" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vimmy - The cutest small animal in Britain</p></div>
<p>I have to agree, although I do hold some reservations as my Turq! would give Vimmy a run for the ribbon if this was made into an international event.</p>
<div id="attachment_311" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-311" title="young_turq" src="http://rattitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/young_turq-300x195.png" alt="Young Turq!" width="300" height="195" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Young Turq!</p></div>
<p>Of course, we still have to explain to Turq! he is not a dog, but that should not be all that difficult as he is a clever little varmit, too.</p>
<p><strong><em>Should there be an International Cutest Small Animal Competition? Leave a comment where you think it should be held.</em></strong></p>
