It's now 6:20am on Friday. I woke up this morning at 5:25am with my dogs going INSANE! I thought they were chasing after their squeeky ball. Oh. Holy. Hell! It wasn't their ball that was squeeking...it was a RAT! Omigod! I'm freaking out! I want a cigarette, a drink, and an exterminator here immediately! I've never even seen one up close...and now I have one in my house! Where did it come from?? How do I get rid of it?? I thought it was a mouse, but it's HUGE! It can only be a rat. I'm about to faint just thinking about it. I can't write anymore, because the dogs chased it into this room and I put the gate up because I don't want my dogs to go near it....again. It's probably watching me right now from under the futon. OMG! I feel lightheaded. My dogs had it in their mouths. Blech! OK...I'm outta here now. I'm walking around with my trusty broom, and am now going to call off work...call an exterminator....and bleach the house down. Doom! Doom!
Real live squeeky toy...AARGH!

I have a Jack Russell I can loan you....she has caught mice at my house and they train them to catch Rats. 
Honestly, we had mice this winter (we are wwwwaaaayyy out in the country) and I LOVE the electronic traps....you bait them...they flash when something is in there. It zaps em with a current, but the dogs can't get into it. Then they are DEAD in the trap and you just open it and dump it out...never touching the rodent.
BTW: make sure the exterminator knows in advance you have dogs etc. Mine came ready to bait with poison and then with sticky traps. I HATE sticky traps...the dang things are still alive when they stick and you have to whack em to kill em or throw them out alive.

Oh my!!! can't say I've ever seen a wild one before (knock on wood) yes make sure the exterminator knows you have doggies!! The only thing I've dealt with are mice and that is nothing compared to a RAT!!! I wish you luck and keep your feet covered....Keep us posted!!!!

:eek: Run for the hills.
Not funny though, I'd be freaking out 10 fold.
Let us know the outcome.

Pack your bags, call a moving company, get out, then call the rat-killers to come and do their thing!!!!
Okay, maybe a bit dramatic

My kitty cat, a fat, up to a year ago only indoor cat, declawed - killed a mama mouse and brought her three babies into the house last week. I have gotten pretty good at killing them, one night it was me in my red robe with a red broom running around the house after one - you get the image.
I love when our children bring home friends we do not approve of.
