RATS IN OUR YARD







Actually, they were our rats. On Saturday it was nice outside and our grass was still cut so carter set up the rats wooden play pen outside and created a nature habitat full of grass and flowers and other fun stuff for them and they loved it and went crazy moving around and sniffing everything just like a dog would. It was pretty darn cute!

rat story time!

houston and i were sitting outside with glasses of water on the porch of our house last saturday night after a hard day of yard work and painting. it was about 10 pm so it was dark, and we live in a sort of alley behind some other houses. we were talking and laughing and everything when all of a sudden the BIGGEST, UGLIEST, CRAZIEST animal comes skittering down the alley to where our cars are parked and disappears into the night! we were both pretty freaked -- it looked just like a rat only about 3 times the size!! we decided to call it the crat -- half rat, half cat. we were soooo spooked!! the end.


now that i think about it, it was probably a possum.

I'm really glad they were your pet rats. Last summer our entire neighborhood had a rat infestation-none in the houses just all over the outdoors. It was a mess. I think over 40 were killed in one afternoon alone (by a posse of Dad's). It was crazy!

When I first saw your pictures, I thought you had the same problem.
