During the winter we get mice. This yr we finally gave in and got a good old fashion mouse trap, baited it with peanut butter and hey presto, we caught a whole family of them.

This wkend my dog was sitting at the patio doors having a fit. Hubby got up to see what was bothering her and it was a rat. A rat was coming through my garden fence and walking about on my patio. At this point I should be saying "shock horror" but you know what? It was the cutest thing ever

Apart from driving the family mad by singing "Ben" the Michael Jackson rat song we all grew rather fond of it. It was poking its head out our fence making sure our dog wasn't around LOL

So how does this cute tale end? We killed it LOL! it wsa cute but not in my garden LOL
