On the first day of CNY, we ushered in the year of the rat with a big party at home. Little did I guess that on the second day, we will be ushering in a real rat!

I was happily bounding towards my bicycle in the garden when I realized the dogs had abandoned me. This is very strange because they haven’t even wiped the boogers in their eyes on my pants yet.
I saw Kylie & Dino secretly sniffing in the corner and went to take a look.

YIKES! A REAL RAT!

And it was an adorable little mousey too. I stepped to and fro, not very sure what to do. I didn’t want it to die. Remy is a friend, not food.

Kylie kept nudging Remy with her little nose. I couldn’t bear to look and I couldn’t bear to remove it either.

I ran to the bicycle and rode fast and furious for one circle around the house. Then I rushed back to have a look.

Here lies Remy. Nudged to Death. I’m sorry brother. To Kylie & Dino’s credit, they never ate him up.
