the triumph of man

Caught our little visitor!

And, as my dear husband so astutely pointed out, it was not a mouse, but a young rat.

Caught him on a sticky trap, took him to a wooded area quite a ways away, poured oil on the trap, and let him get unstuck and run off.

Goodness, I hope that was the only one.

Ewwww! A baby rat!! I surely hope it was the only one. I can't believe you let it go. I wouldn't have been able to get close enough to it to do that.

Allowing him to live was an interesting twist to the story. I am sure that thousands upon thousands of his vile progeny will honor you as their queen.
