Rat Update

Well...I called the exterminator and he said that all he would do is put out poison stations and then the rat would die in 6-7 days. The hell? I told him no...one - i have dogs that now have a taste of rat and won't settle down until it's gone...so I don't want a rat full of poison lurking around. Two - I have no idea where this rat would die...so I would have to smell it for months if it got somewhere I couldn't reach...and three - I don't want to wait 6-7 days. I went to the hardware store and bought an armful of rat traps that were brutal to set. V. scary! My BF set them and put two in the TV room and two in the cellar. We went to the State Fair and I'll just say that that particular rat has now been snuffed. And an additional one in the cellar that was even bigger than the one in the TV room. AARGH! There were two rats (maybe more) in my house!

The rat did bite Kasey pretty good on the lip. When my BF took it out in a plastic bag, she just went out the dog door. Didn't want anything to do with it. We cleaned the bite, and she's up on all her shots, so will just watch it for now. I think it might have bit Reilly's toe, so have cleaned that and will watch that for infection too.

I've got a bad case of the heebie jeebies. However, am proud to say that I did NOT have that cigarette. I quit last October, so I did good. But the first thing that popped in my head after seeing that rat was "I WANT A CIGARETTE RIGHT NOW!". Am going to go have a beer now though because my mind is playing tricks and I keep seeing things in the corner of my eye move, and I think it's a rodent. Blech!

That's the last time I go looking for a squeeky toy. I'll definitely be more hesitant before taking something out of Reilly's mouth. Especially knowing now it's go the potential to be something most unpleasant.

Rats

My Grandma once had a rat in her house and my dad shot it with a 22. IN THE HOUSE!!!!!

It was in the cupboard when he finally cornered it and when he shot it, the bullet when through two of Grandma's cookie sheets. Boy was she pissed!

I think she was more angry about the cookie sheets being damaged than having a rat in her house. He hammered the hole closed and mom still uses them today (35 years later)
