Uninvited Guest

(From Devin) So our dog has been sniffing around the laundry room all day (annoying us like crazy) so we block her access to that room. I figure there is a gecko in the room. No big deal. Later on, she starts sniffing under one corner of a cabinet in the kitchen. So we open the door, wheew... stinks!! We'll deal with it tomorrow and decide to block her from that room. Then all of a sudden, she wigs out, barking like crazy. I go into the kitchen, pull out the roaster pan drawer under the oven... a RAT!!! The body is 5-6 inches long and the tail another 3. No field mouse, no house mouse, A RAT!!! It even took a wiz in our roasting pan! I hope the thing likes Raid Rat Bait, because that's whats for dinner, buddy! Show of hands, who buys a new pan (it's a very nice calphalon pan that we got as a wedding gift) and who just says wash it VERY VERY good? Follow up question, how expensive a pan does it have to be before you say, wash it!
