Little Home Wildlife

We had our first sighting of the Little Home rat last night. Both Nigel and I saw something small, brown, furry and VERY fast go scooting by in the dining room. We haven't started the naming because Siobhan doesn't yet know about the rat sighting (she is not pleased with the wildlife aspects of this assignment and I'm afraid that we aren't making it much easier for her with all of the teasing that we are doing). Once it does slip that we have seen the rat, I'm guessing that we'll be pulling Siobhan out of the ceiling (or trying to convince her that the floor is safe to walk on) and THEN the naming will begin.
Aside from the rat there have been several lizards (they look like geckos) and lots of sugar ants. Living in Texas now means that both of those are common sightings (although Texas lizards do tend to stay outside).
