About as well as can be expected, I expect. I've stopped crying all the time, so there's that.@alicia How are you doing?

A packrat is a huge rat almost chinchilla looking. The only one I measured was approx. 18" long - without the tail- and I would guess 4"-5" tall. They usually live in the wild, but if a house can be found, they are there. They do exactly what their name implies. They will tear out your insulation, wires, basically anything they can and build a home out of it. And for some reason, they love the plastic wire casing in vehicle engines.Excuse my ignorance..what a packrat??..we dont have things like that here.

I haven't killed one recently. Probably the 3.5' snake I saw before it turned cold either ate the one that was hanging around or it just left. I tried to Google an image, but none showed the adult size and a lot of them were just plain old rats. But next time I get one, I will post a picture if it's allowed (it will be dead, so I will have to clear it with Ann first).
I jokingly call them a R.O.U.S.. We usually throw them for the crows. The crows up here had 747's for parents.
ETA: Imagine a Black-footed tree rat on steroids.
True. My helper and husband were full of grief.They just don't live long enough.
