OMG !!! I only discovered this thread today .....
What a terrible and mean thing to do !! I hope your dog and rats have bitten the intruder all over , and that he gets lots of infections there !!! What a monster ... ! Poor ratties ... it must have been so scary for all of your pets !

Accept my sympathy too ! I am happy to hear that you are back together with your boyfriend ; and let Sunshine bring lots of sunshine in your life !!
