Have you ever seen a Alabama Swamp Rat??? 
I saw my very first one in my back yard yesterday !!!! It was rather scary when I saw "IT"
Yesterday was a Pretty day and I let some of my babies stay out to sun themselves. I had some work to do in my kitchen so I was there to keep a watchful eye on them(so I thought) as they were in their portable pen. I thought Homer was enjoying the sun in his spot where he was laying for sometime well apparently he was.
He decided to empty the water bowl and make mud pies and he was the PIE!!!
I had to shampoo him 3 times to get all of the mud and grass out of him..lol But I am just glad he wasn't play in the red clay or he would had been a Alabama Red Swamp Rat very badly stained...
