All of those would've been nice.
They brought home a rat

Free bait!!! Woooooooo!!

Didn't see that one coming lol.

There are worse pets than a rat. Besides the smell, they are not to bad. I raised and sold rats in college and for a few years afterwards.

Keith

Ya there are worse pets for sure. The only rats I like are muskrats

A new bass boat?

My "lice" answer would have been way off, lol(unless the rat had some)

That would have gone straight back to where it came from!

I'm pretty sure it would go on a vacation to somewhere exotic and not come back...

It was the strangest thing, last night I'm falling asleep and the rat starts whimpering to get out of the cage. It kept me up past 1 am.
My hound is not sure what to think of it

Adam that stinky bedding is great for k9 sets.
The rat might be a good bait as well.

Willard would be a good name for it.

Wow, that's old school right there. What was that, 1972? 73?

1971

i'd a grumpy old menned a dead carp under their seat for the ride home just to show how appreciative i was.

Spade and Neuter your rat! As Bob would say.

Adam, if it's an adult female rat, you may have hordes of rats soon. Selling rats is an easy, but stinky way to make money.

Raising rats, but more mice and catching and selling snakes, turtles, amphibians and trapdoor snails, is how I got most of the money my girlfriend and I bought food with in college. I also graduated in 3 1/2 years instead of the normal 4 or 5 years, by turning my mice raising into a 6 credit, independent study, Anthropology project.

I know my grandkids always go home with a sugar high.

I used to raise rabbits like that and would sell them to snake people. I couldn't keep enough, and none went to waste. Every one that died as a kit I'd freeze it and sell them when I got a dozen or so put back. If I hadn't been promoted at work and lost all my spare time I'd still be doing it.

And it was my final project as a senior in college, too! Wrote a business plan, financial statements, the whole deal.

Hahaha me too!
