Exceedingly Mundane

OK, I know I should not be admitting this, but I just saw the mouse/rat that is living up under our deck. EWWWW!

Tim said he saw one this past Saturday afternoon late and put some rat poison under the deck. Apparently, it is not working, or hasn’t worked yet. I called him at work and he said the box said it may take up to a week to work. I saw one, THEN TWO, rats come out from up under my deck and start eating my verbena. I thought they were coming to up under my bird feeder to eat the leftovers and hulls, much like my squirrel does every day or so. But, NO, I saw them eating my flowers.

I think Tim will be asked very nicely to put out a double dose of more rat poison tonight when he gets home from work.

If, for some odd reason, you want to see what one of them looked like, click the -More- Link for the one decent picture I got. Those buggers were faster than greased lightening! And yes, I know, I’m sick. I’m here in my house, listening to my AC run because it’s 89º outside, then I look out and see a rat, so that means I must run immediately and get my camera to take a picture. I’m sick in the head. I know it. I need a dog. Or a cat. Or a goldfish. I miss Sally.

Rat/Mouse #1 that poked his head out. I think the second one that came out was bigger, but he was too fast for me to get his/her picture.

EWWWW!
