I think he is holding it squashed up Ann to stop it from drooping in the middle, as it would if held straight out with the length of it. Just a thought. I certainly wouldn't like to meet it, I've never actually seen one and I'm sure I don't want to now, ugghh.

To me, although I wouldn't like to 'meet' one, it doesn't look like a normal rat. Pity he didn't keep it for the experts to see.

When we lived in Scotland, there was a Burn at the foot of our street and the rats used to come and 'play' in the gardens.

PLEASANT little creatures... they are NOT!

No thank you Polly, I would rather not look.

They reckon that we are all only about 25 feet away from the nearest rat!!

Eeeeuuuuuugggg....
