Sock mama wowed at amazing photos by Ellen Van Deelen

The Sockimals were surfing the net yesterday when they came across an article on the telegraph online of a lady who photographed her rats with musical instruments and toys. Lafayette thought they were so wonderful he had to order one for his dorm! sadly the main rattie featured has died so all the sockimals said a prayer and vowed to enjoy life more as it can be so short. Anyhow we wish to congratulate Ellen on her work!

Visit http://www.redbubble.com/people/ellen to see her 'real boomtown' rats and also to follow lafayette's footsteps and buy a card or print.

p.s I dont know where he got the money for it but he has a habit of checking under the cushions of the sofa! seems hes done quite well and our guests have loose pockets!

Muggles has word that Maisy her sister is coming to the sanctuary soon!

Hi all! well little muggles may not have been adopted yet but has been made ecstatic that her almost identical sis Maisy will be visiting soon and hopes to be adopted with Muggles! fingers crossed. News is also in that the sanctiary shall be opening its doors in the coming months to many other sockimals to help spread the love. a few places have been reserved by the adorable sock mice as many need new homes! one of which is a new breed who actually likes being with moggies! due to the extra strong catnip inside these fellas guarantee a warm welcome. watch this space. x

Meet Lafayette and Ollie oddpaws! they are two mischievious fellows whom ive no doubt you will be hearing plenty about in the future.Ollie is big on night time snacking as the mystery of the disappearing cheese was recently solved. no doubt lafayette was involved to help give him a leg up. Its time on the naughty step for them!

We will shortly be having more sockimals up for adoption shortly so why not adopt one and tell us here at the sockimals sanctuary all about them

After a late night party, muggles, pigsy,lafayette and ollie oddpaws said goodbye to their friend at newcastle airport. *sniff sniff*. 'Dot' is going to live in the shetland islands which is a long way from the Sockimals adoption center. She promises to send pics of her and her new owner. so watch this space. Poor Muggles was very sad this morning and is still waiting for a good home on http://www.folksy.com/shops/Sockimals
