Rat

I am really enjoying ceramics.
We have had Rats in the ceiling!  Couldn't catch them, so decided to poison them.  One took the bait, but died between the ceiling and the top floor of the house - in a place we could not reach!  The decomposing rat smell has been a feature of our place for the last month or so.  This is a tribute to our Rat.
I don't like killing creatures.

At one point this rat was part of a 'shrine' to the memory of the rat... surrounded in daffodils and other bits and pieces on our hearth-as we encouraged the rat on its way... where do rat spirits go?
