    The dogs just found a big (thankfully dead) RAT in the garden

    My back is in total spasm....I am actually rigid with disgust and loathing...the base of its tail is as thick as my thumb...Ewwwwww

    Is it too early for vodka?

    My dogs found a dead rat recently but I didn't see it until they put it on their chair in the kitchen
    It was brandy for me

      Oh MY GOD!!!

      I'd have dropped like a stone!

      My big, brave, barky hero lurcher was terrified, crawling slowly towards it on his belly....growling, but very, very quietly

          Vodka for medicinal purposes can be taken at any time of day.

          Have you managed to pick it up yet?

              How on earth could a person pick one up without full biohazard suit and 10 metre shovel. You have my full sympathy!

                    We once had feral farm cats raise a litter in our back yard. When they moved on and we could get out there to clean up, we found a complete rat pelt, with tail, with little kitten gnaw marks....

                    Awwww. Kitten weaning. Sweet.

                      One of the many furry presents Percy has brought us before was a young dead rat. I'm not normally bothered by mice, voles and shrews. They come with a convenient handle (tail) for removing them (except the voles!) However I did draw the line at a rat and got the dustpan and brush.
                      The first and only time we had a rat in the garden was when No2 son was about 6. My husband was about to take him to school when he called out, "Daddy, there's a squirrel in the garden. " OH looked out and of course it wasn't a squirrel it was a rat of similar proportions.

                        I feel for you muddled. I'm usually ok with most things now. But when my cat was a kitten he found and dragged home a dead rat. Complete with the trap that killed it. The rat was nearly as big as the kitten. The only saving grace was the whole contraption was too big to go through the cat flap.

                          we had a HUGE dead rat in our garden a few years ago (I honestly didn't know they could get so big) - I dispatched OH to deal with it - guts and gore really don't bother him, but even he had to sing to himself to be able to move it. I saw the funny side by that point

                            Saw the grey cat that claims the lottie wandering about trying not to trip over the rat it was carrying. It was heading aff my plot so I don't mind to taking them off my plot. In fact as long as it doesn't scratch up my seeds I can put up with a bit of cat poop on the beds.

                            I wonder if kittens can be trained to hunt slugs?

                              mine love eating slugs... but they have to literally trip over them to see them - no chase with a slug is there?!
