I'm thinking my kids would probably like a lion or a leopard. Ha! We had a cat in Indo, which was the coolest cat ever, but very fat and lazy. He was great for the kids to play with, but wasn't much of a mouser. But the other problem we're having here right now is the monkeys coming into our garden and steeling vegetables that are almost ready to pick. So we're trying to get our puppy to be more protective as well. Maybe we should get a goose!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737487647086955427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-3976034298032289802014-07-20T08:19:30.296+03:002014-07-20T08:19:30.296+03:00Sandy, I'm admittedly not a rodent expert, so ...Sandy, I'm admittedly not a rodent expert, so I'll take your word on it. But regardless, we'll pretend these are rats b/c it fits the "pack rat" story better. However, I can assure you we definitely have had plenty of real rats in our house back when we lived in Indonesia. They were often 12 inches long or longer and probably weighed more than a pound! The one in Hannah's closet was about 6 or 7 inches from head to tail, so it was much smaller by comparison. But the looks were more similar to the rats in Indonesia, rather than the mice. So I just assumed it was a young rat. Unlike the birds in an earlier post, I didn't bother looking it up to see what it was exactly. :-) Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737487647086955427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-48539496947222892992014-07-20T02:19:20.962+03:002014-07-20T02:19:20.962+03:00Never used the flip flop method, but did grab up a...Never used the flip flop method, but did grab up a shoe to throw at a trespassing dog -- and then asked a friend to go retrieve my shoe!<br />My condolences to Hannah.

We never used them against snakes of course, but for the average household intruder, a flipflop gives you the perfect quick solution! Living in Switzerland now, there's less need for flipflops all up, but gees, when I spot an intruder, I'm the first to reach for my foot for my household pest solution :-)<br /><br />All the best to all of you, and your flipflops, AliJust mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546984503732753891noreply@blogger.com
