...When a rat fell from the ceiling outside my room today while I was enjoying a late lunch on my bed. Even though this rat and it's friends and family are responsible for nights of sleeplessness and for eating into my food (back when I wasn't wise enough to put it all in storage bins), I still couldn't quite bear to have the rat's face in the picture. I had thrown poison up into the ceiling a while ago, and while the poison weakened the rat, Rocky (the spaniel that lives in my house) made quick work of putting the rat out of its misery.

OH, How (not) lovely! I am sure you will be happy to be rid of him...
ReplyDeleteWe are currently fighting a large extended family of mice in our house. They have made nests out of our sleeping bogs and confiscated all my q-tips and soap out of my bathroom...besides leaving calling cards all over the house. The only difference is that they are way cuter than your rat :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so gross........ you, too, Mimamama. Blech. Dead animals are gross. And thieving animals, worse.
ReplyDeleteOh, Aunt Ginny! I feel your pain (and frustration)! If you find an easy way to get rid of them for good, let me know! I'm always in the market for new strategies.
