Last night, I went downstairs to let Ginger into the house. She was in the front yard. As I walked to the front door I heard some strange noises from outside. It sounded like something was banging against the house, I thought the wind was blowing.

When I opened the door, I saw that she was carrying something in her mouth. I saw a tail and figured it was a lizard. I went back inside to get a flashlight to look closer.

Ginger had caught a *big* rat. Toby picked it up and threw it away. She said that it was about 8 inches long, not including the tail. Yuck. But better a dead rat than one that might end up running across the kitchen counter one day.

Sorry no pictures.
