I think we need to get a cat or three, which will make my 2-year-old happy. Is the rat going to mess with our new garden, or will it stick to garbage??Kristine Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899812845027046774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-85297076764885190732008-05-15T12:39:00.000-07:002008-05-15T12:39:00.000-07:00Are you sure it is not a vole?

Do you have a cat to let outside to help scare him away? I have a compost bin but thankfully the most exciting thing I have seen inside that is alive is worms.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381103120658976286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-88816841227561557072008-04-10T08:29:00.000-07:002008-04-10T08:29:00.000-07:00Amy...I'm terrible about the soaking...but I'm try...Amy...I'm terrible about the soaking...but I'm trying to get better!<BR/>Karen...I am a little worried he'll invite friends!<BR/>Katarina...I hope they're as easy to train as mine seemed to be!<BR/>Gintoino...I have at least 4 neighborhood cats that pass through...none of them seem to be helping :(<BR/>Garden Girl...my husband used to have pet rats in his classroom and they sometimes came to growingagardenindavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959600840504166899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-617108359091527302008-04-10T07:30:00.000-07:002008-04-10T07:30:00.000-07:00I think you should name him Templeton (Charlotte's...I think you should name him Templeton (Charlotte's Web).Robin Follettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089918182390554269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-54047602584220763712008-04-06T06:47:00.000-07:002008-04-06T06:47:00.000-07:00My dog is always trying to find our compost rat.
