for those of you in desperate need of new carpet, or for anyone aspiring to hardwood floors from carpet, I would like to let you know of Ben's new specialty of mass carpet destruction.
During a desperate search for Basil, who somehow managed to find his way into my bedroom closet, Ben amused himself by parking his well nourished little body on the floor, under my desk, and literally pulling the carpet shag out of its foundation.
There is something to be said for a normal set of rat whiskers, but when you are finally successful in removing a "Basil" from your shoe, in the above mentioned closet, it can be mind boggling to perceive your other little rat man, from across the room, with what appears to be a full new set of whiskers. (The reality being that he was holding 4 carpet threads in his teeth which made it look, from the distance, as if he had sprouted new whiskers within a 5 minute timeframe!)
One boy scout point for B&B in favor of a new wood floor. Sorry guys, I won't be able to afford that for, at least, another year or 2.
I would recommend hiring Basil but I don't think anyone would be able to find a reason for having a rat pee into your shoes.
