Well, I was taking meowmy for our evening walk, and was at the edge of the empty lot behind our townhouse, when all of a sudden a RAT, jumped out of the weeds!! Well, I was on that rat like gravy on rice.....and in no time I was carrying him by the tail.....but meowmy (for some strange reason) kept saying "drop that dirty thing Louie"....Hey, I caught it, its MY rat. Well, I wanted to go inside and show Emma, Benny and Pete my prize, so I went right up to the gate to our patio and waited. Well, meowmy went on with the "Drop it Louie"....I went to open my mouth to tell her something, and I DROPPED MY RAT!!!....and he ran about a foot away and lay still. So, meowmy put me inside and I ran in and told Emma, Benny and Pete what happened. When they saw that meowmy was outside, we all thought that she would bring the rat inside for us to play with......but NO, she picked it up (with a small garden shovel) and put it back in the empty lot!!
I bet the rat had fainted with fright after my catching him..... When she came in meowmy did tell me what a mighty hunter I was, and we all got some Temptations Tuna Flavored Treats.

When she comes home this afternoon, and we go for a walk I am going to keep my eyes open to see if I can get that rat again.......will keep you all posted.
