Treeca, we have a huge amount of squirrels here, but no rats or mice. I am sure that Tootsie would get them if one did come into the yard.
When we lived in the country, we had rats, and mice that would sneak inside at night, and Tootsie would catch the mice and kill them. She is very fast when she is after them, and really likes catching the mice.
I have read that squirrels will also kill mice and rat, and I do not know if that is so, or not; but if it is true, we have plenty of squirrels around to get them, too.
The squirrels are fun to watch, and they love figuring out ways to get to the bird feeder, so we are always having to try and find a place to hang the feeder that the squirrels can't reach it and eat all the birdseed.
