The boys (Kenji and Kago) came knocking on my door this morning once they heard the sounds of my mouse clicks. I thought it’s pretty unusual because I just fed them last night and I’m very sure they won’t be hungry that early in the morning. So I decided to check it out, they might have found some new leads after a whole night of searching. When I got to the kitchen, nothing there, no dead bodies, no dismembered parts. Then these smarties looked up the window grills and started barking. And there I saw it… the elusive one. It’s huge, body length about 6-7 inches.

 

Since it has appeared, I have to do something. So, I looked around, noticed something the dogs did that I thought was pretty darn smart. They actually dragged a pole into the house, hoping to use it to bring down the rat. Man, how smart is that? Although I think they “have the will, but don’t have the physical strength” (just like what my housemate said):P Anyway, I looked around and decided to stuff up the area around the fridge with newspapers first, in case he runs in there again. Then I decided to leave the backdoor open for it to escape. Next, I ushered the boys to the living room and lock them out there… I don’t want to witness bloodshed, not today. Lastly, I took this shot :)

 

Then, the supposedly easy “free the rat” operation became a little frustrating. When I started to nudge the fella, it moved down to it’s position (shown in the photo), then it did the unimaginable, it pee-ed!!! I cursed and swore. Here I’m trying to free you and you make my life difficult. Anyway, after a while, it jumped onto the kitchen floor and scurried to the backyard. I hope he left this place and go tell his friends, don’t ever come back cause the boys will be waiting.

 

The boys did well. Commendable effort. Shall bring them to the beach one of these days:)
