We assumed it was one of the boys - after an interrogation of wide eyed boys proclaiming their innocence we sent all three to their room until the guilty party admitted his offense. After about 15 minutes the eldest (about 7 years old) came out and confessed. However upon being pressed he unconfessed. In the meantime Daddy went in to examine the evidence and upon doing so he found other "evidence". The nasty kind. The boys were released from their room and apologized to. The next night we set to watching. Sure enough around dusk TWO huge rats scampered through a hole at the back door they had chewed throught and was hidden by carpet. What ensued was a frantic chase in the kitchen and the rats disappeared through their hole. We repaired the hole and the boys have never tired of telling the story of their undeserved punishment. They have pointed out that if they wanted to get into something in the kitchen it would not have been bread!<BR/><BR/>Karen in SCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432350654444522232.post-5041755656991397672008-12-05T04:57:00.000-08:002008-12-05T04:57:00.000-08:00I bet he snuck out with your husband somehow!

You write so well, Alison.<BR/><BR/>We had a cat named Tosca when we lived in England who would bring "prizes" to show us through her cat door. She always announced her "prizes" with a loud horrible meow. If we were quick enough, we'd slam our doors until my Mom got rid of the mouse!<BR/><BR/>thanks for bringing back good memories.<BR/><BR/>By the way, did Cassie sleep in there last night?

Last week, I went out to feed our guinea pigs and a rat ran out of their cage. Later in the day, I saw 3 babies and a papa with them. I was worried. Rats do not easily leave. And I hate them. Give me nearly any beast, and I am happy. But rats? RATS!!! So, I bought poison, which I hate to use, but seeing we had 5 rats in our tiny yard, I wasn't taking chances. I haven't seen one in about 3 days. But I'm still walking around on tip toes, and now this? Argh. You freaked me right out all over again!!! Hope he truly is gone, and good that the mess was resolved. God works in mysterious ways.
