Stinkin' Rat

On Friday, Taylor was blaming Allison for her stinky feet on the way home from school.  Then on Sunday, as she left to babysit, the smell of death consumed the area all around her car.  I couldn't make her drive it!  She took my car to babysit and I lifted the hood to see what I could find.  Well, there was plenty of rat poop all over the engine and wood chips creating a nest, but no rat. 
Matt then took the hose to the entire area under the hood and maggots started coming out underneath her car!!  OMG! But still no rat.  So I drove it to the Honda dealership and they couldn't fine anything either.  After another day of stinkiness and more maggots, I asked Matt to look again with a flashlight while it was dark outside.  He found it...wedged in the fan right behind the license plate...or what was left of it.  So disgusting!!
The rat was quickly disposed of, along with the BBQ tongs and s'mores skewers that were used to get him out.  YUCK!
