"Two-One"

I tied the score at one with this decisive move!

  Please note that he has a bloody nose and that's all.  He was quickly and humanely dead!  I made sure to use a good trap because as much as I enjoy the game, I don't enjoy the killing. The simple fact is that the rats gotta go!  I've tried hard to reason with them but to no avail.

So one-one but then they went ahead again.  I had initially set up 2 traps as you can see here.

Then note that the one trap has moved out of the picture when the dead guy sprung it, but the other one remains set.  This pic also confirms that there is indeed more than one of the little beasts!

And finally this one shows the second trap sprung but without a catch!

 2-1 rats....Game on!

And the pictures can be deceiving but does the last rat not look gigantic compared to the previous one? I don't think it's the same animal and as such there are at least 2 more still living.

I'm uncertain about my next step now.  Maybe I need to give them a night off to get their courage back up.  Unlike the previous 2 nights (no traps) when I got almost 400 pictures, last night I got only 7 total, and only 2 after the first trap went off.

All is peaceful on the training front but I'm having some diet problems.  I am steadily gaining back the 10 pounds I lost last year.  I have to figure that one out.  I'm pretty sure the problem's with my head, and not my stomach.

Love
Peter
