Rednesday and Ralph~ 1-5-11

All I can say is I was pretty shocked when I walked into the back room and saw “Ralph" munching out. He was not the least upset by me and went about the business of chowing out in spite of my big blue eyes staring at him. Since I could do nothing at that moment - a fly swatter does NOT work with a rat - I just watched in awe knowing I was going to have to pull out the rat trap ASAP! End of story!!!!



P.S..... When you live in a 110 year old frame farmhouse built WITHOUT hardly a crawl space underneath it, mice and rats are just a troublesome way of life. We try our best to be varmint free, but sometimes a Ralph gets in through the cracks!!!


Be sure to stop by  It’s A very Cherry World to see more wonderful Rednesday posts.

  2. I can't believe you stood there and took pictures......I would be running down the street screaming. I hope you get him out of your house.

  5. UGH, we once lived for a while in the City...of Hartford, CT. At that time they had a horrible infestation of rats. Rats would eat the tomatoes in our garden, but when they came into our house we moved out.

    I wonder if there is a difference between city rats and farm rats, ha!
