♫ ♪ "There's a rat in the kitchen; what am I gonna do? There's a rat in the kitchen....." ♬ ♩
Walking Charlie this morning, he suddenly started pulling down the entrance that leads to our local open-air market. Charlie has one of those long-extending leads, plus I should wear distance glasses when not wearing my reading glasses. At first, I thought it was a leaf blowing along the length of the wall. Still, as we got closer, I thought maybe it was a bird, possibly wounded or a baby bird, as whatever it was seemed to be hopping rather slowly, given a white hairy idiot impersonating an Alsation was barking at its bum.
IT'S A RAT!
Charlie gave me a look that I swear said: "I know! Let's play with it!" as he barked about two inches from the rat's face. The rat didn't seem bothered at all, as you can see from the picture; it just looked at us unphased. Was this a Mexican standoff? Do I let Charlie have a go? Should I do anything? It is a rat, after all, and this is a food area. I decided to be a grown adult alpha male and scarpered quickly, dragging Charlie barking and bouncing behind me.
I have to say, it looked friendly and totally used to hoomans but it was still a rat.

We've got a few of those hairy buggers in the garden. They hang around the chicken run trying to scavenge some food. I've set some traps, but not caught any yet. Definitely don't want them in the kitchen!
