Close Encounters
Uploaded: April 29, 2008
Another in the Rat series. Again--the Rat was unharmed after being chased from my patio to the yard by the dog. It is no fun to chase something that is not running. I took the Pack or Wood Rat to the woods and gave the little guy some food and shinny gifts. I still leave food and "gifts" for him! I know he is a rat, but he was so brave and cute!!

Good for you for helping the small guy. My heart always goes for the underdog even when they are rats. He may be small but he's got a very big heart. Great Capture Kathy! #5879250Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
