I can handle tame rats, but wild rats are quite another thing! Would have scared me to death too!

We Mark and I were first married (almost 16 yrs ago!) our first house (in town) had a basement and a little toilet, the house was really old. Anyway, there was no running water in the toilet, and the lid was up. We didn't think anything about it, and one day we were in the basement and for some reason Mark looked in that little room, there were rat droppings, GROSS!!! Well, he first put the lid down and put cement blocks on it, they tried to chew their way through the wood toilet seat (thank god they never got out of that little room into the house, or I would have died!)! So finally we had to pour cement down the toilet! I had never heard of rats in town! But then again, it wasn't that nice of a neighborhood (that's the reason we left!) Now all I can say is
"I LOVE THE COUNTRY LIFE!!!"
