Not sure about fluffy cats or shaggy dogs, but I can definitely smell a rat!
Talking of rats.. They always say you're never more than 5 metres from one of the furry fellows.. how true ...
While relaxing in the shed, there came a scratching noise from a large box of 2Wire 3600HGV VDSL routers. I poked my head in to investigate, and an indignant beady-eyed little chap peered out!
Cutting a long story short (involving two jars of peanut butter and three different traps) ..
Please meet "Errol".. insatiable appetite, severe body odour issues, and doubly incontinent.. but a loveable rogue, nevertheless..
Unfortunately, because of Errol's personal hygiene problems, he had to leave..
The humane rat catcher's manual offers the following advice: release rattus at least 5 miles from place of capture, and near a plentiful supply of food..
My immediate thoughts were the Tesco in-store bakery.. Sadly, Sunday opening hours put paid to that idea, so the local country park had to do..
And off he beetled.. Farewell Errol!
