Rats, yuk! We had a horrible one living in our garden in Jakarta. It eventually drowned in the pool after being chased by our loopy golden retriever - for once, that dog did something useful!

I remember working in London, and seeing them all scurrying around the tracks in the tube station. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

We have a guinea pig and have had a few hamsters - nothing with a tail enters the elsie home - unless it barks!
