Oh Rats.

Ok, so I spotted a rat in our backyard TWICE this week. Ew. Ew. Ew. I really hate rats. I thought of getting a snake to eat the rat, but I am afraid it might also eat Nanny or the bunnies. Today I was talking about getting rid of the rat--poison vs. trap, etc. Augi suddenly chimned in to the conversation and said: "I know mom!!! Let's poke it with sticks!!!" Aaaaa. My gentle child.

JUST THIS AFTERNOON Seth told me that rats can't survive here. Avery told us there was a white squirrel in the backyard. I thought maybe it was a rat, but Seth insisted it couldn't be a rat. Now I think he just told me that so I wouldn't be freaking out about rats (I hate rodents!).

Hopefully it won't survive long, but yes--rats can and do flourish in Utah. Silly Seth. Now fleas do not survive here. So, don't worry about getting a flea collar for your pet rat.

don't kill it!

rats get a bad rap.

they're not that different from bunnies, you know. just stay away from it and it will do the same.

i used to hate rodents too, but then i got to know a certain hamster and a certain gerbil and will never fear, um, i mean hate, them again!


ps. snakes are stupid!
