Thanks Dawn. Yes, and they are funny looking. Big as a beaver and nasty looking. Just a big, muddy, mangy haired rat. LOL #8868118Sherran Andersen August 29, 2010
That is one cool pic... love the eye contact but that is one creature I don't think I will get near. #8869494Dan W. Dooley August 29, 2010
Thanks Sherran. You know I have a sneaking feeling that the thought going through his brain as he was looking at me was "love the eye contact but that is one creature I don't think I will get near." LOL #8869506Sherran Andersen August 29, 2010
