REAL live RATS??!! And Toto's Mom doesn't ever want to even watch those Trials in person!! Besides ... Toto is so Prissy she ... would probably just say something like "Higgy, Dahlin' would you be a gentleman and fetch me a rat!"
Cutest "ballgame" I have seen ... Austin [our 5 year old athletic prodigy] had noone to play baseball with one day ... I went outside to check on him and he was just standing there tossing the ball up and batting it into the yard and there was Missy [Border Collie] catching each one ... trotting to Austin & dropping the ball at his feet then trotting back out there waiting to do it again!! They did this over and over until I had to "call" the game!!
