So many that she could not see any of the road for the length of the lane.I know that was in the middle ages! but just think one is never further that 15 feet from a rat and they are on the increase.So you probably saw the advance guard and the rest were just behind you.Will you be walking that way again soon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500081.post-60593947965900892052007-10-08T11:37:00.000+01:002007-10-08T11:37:00.000+01:00Saff's never chased a rat to my knowledge but I'm ...Saff's never chased a rat to my knowledge but I'm sure she wouldn't pass up the opportunity if it arose. Squirrels are her real favourite (mortality rate 1 on mine and Carl's watch) but she's not really interested in bunnies and tends to leave them be. Sheep are another favourite which is more of a problem in Wales than in Wiltshire :)<BR/><BR/>Don't blame Gromit though, he's clearly more intelligent than previously thought - after all, what's to gain by chasing a bunch of smelly rats?!Adrian Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175819369993470130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500081.post-72320684038109089182007-10-08T11:12:00.000+01:002007-10-08T11:12:00.000+01:00eugh that story is scary, im never going in the fi...eugh that story is scary, im never going in the fields again!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500081.post-72276765410456959512007-10-07T17:22:00.000+01:002007-10-07T17:22:00.000+01:00I suspect he didn't notice them.
