Generally a "live and let live" kind of a guy, I finally decided that I was going to draw the line at large rats, and as I prepared to try to dispatch Roger Rat with my trusty pellet gun, he made a break for it (again, sorry no pictures). Stout and his three blind puppies chased Roger into some weeds and we thought that all of the excitement was over, so we sat down upstairs to check our email........................................little did we know..................................

Suddenly Kathy jumped up from her computer and let out a truly blood curdling scream - Roger had shinnied up the loofah vine in an effort to escape the puppy pursuit and ran over her foot. Growing weary of all the excitement I ran for the broom and did what I should have done at the begining - I hit a home run with Roger Rat - he will cause no further excitement.

Such is life in the jungle
