Big head in small hole,,,

When we moved into our new house last week, we realised that there were and was still a colony of mice in the shed. We swept out their droppings and proceeded to go to Bunnings for traps. At the time, Glen decided to purchase a rat trap.

We have checked the traps every day, or should I say Glen has checked them every day - heaven forbid if I use the royal 'we'!

Anyway, today he found a rather large mouse, as he described it. My morbid curiosity led me out to the garbage bin where said mouse was. Upon viewing him we both realised the sucker was either a very large fat mouse, or a teen-rat.

Now, we have a very large mouse/teen-rat in our bin waiting for the next bin day - next Friday and a 36 degree day on Sunday! The joys. You'd think the rat would have more courtesy and have taken the trap last night, or even the day before. Now, he's going to stink up our bin!

I'm still wondering how he got his fat body into a mouse trap - he went small for his first and last venture!
