RIP Rat

To say we are missing the rat already would be a downright lie.

But it’s true that the house is quieter this week without her despite having a third Labrador to stay. Merriment is here while The Actress recharges her batteries with her family in the States.

The comforting thing is that Rat, photographed shortly after her demise yesterday morning, is unlikely to have known anything about her demise.

Gaylord found her lying at the side of (rather than on) the sprung trap in one of the kitchen cupboards.

And it looked like she must have had a smack on the nose from the metal bar, dropped her dog biscuit and keeled over

She was more than a foot long from nose to the end of her tail – probably all that chocolate cake she scoffed at the Halloween party – so things really were getting out of control.

There are more dog biscuits on the traps but I rather think we’ve seen the last of our furry friends.
