Wow, lot goin on at your place when I don't keep up! Rats? EWH! I honestly thought they only had them in New York and Jersey lol, really. Let me tell you though, if you don't like rodents, rattlesnakes, or spiders DO NOT go to Arizona. Our first home was a factory built and I made my hubby go under the house to put D Conn cause the cats were sitting next to each other listening to something scratch and chew under our main bathroom. Later on I made him go under and do it again, when he crawled out that time he said it looked like a rodent graveyard with little skeletons everywhere! I won't mention the other creepy things.
Love that little Heart Butt. You have such adorable foals! They are really something!
