I've conquered the RAT..........I think?
Today I learned how to piss off Suzanne by walking under her feet and almost sending her flying - She threatens to step on my little"heeeeed" and squirt my brains out. But I am so damn cute- get away with everything!
Rat Update: The jokes have increased but I do believe.......dare I say...........we have conquered the RAT! There has been no visible or audible activity since the new bait was laid on Monday morning. The instruction from the exterminator was "it should take a day or two and you'll be in good shape, Ma'am". That said after two weeks of snap traps, glue boards and scratching behind the wall and much scheeve. I thought.......... how can it be that easy?
Of course, there are other schools of thought on the subject. And....hey............. thanks to all of you have chimed in with your scenarios! "Perhaps he is sitting behind that wall in his barkalounger, slowly filing his big long rat nails, planning his next move".
"Perhaps he is sitting at a desk, built from slices of bread of course, planning your demise. First you................then that darn puppy that barks in the middle of the night and scares me away from the peanut butter and M&Ms and off the counter leaving me with the unpopular Rat Comb-over after loosing half my hair on that dang glue board."
"Perhaps he is behind that wall starting a new group of the Branch Dividians, stockpiling weapons , again, built from bread, and getting ready (this time) for Janet Reno and her band of goons."
Perhaps his name is Willard,
Perhaps his name is Templeton..........., with a friend named Charlotte.
"Perhaps he is in your closet playing dress up in your big.... high...... red.... sling back pumps, and a ruffly skirt, no doubt teasing Lexi in her crate."
"Perhaps he is sliding his big rat nail back forth agains Lexi's crate like a prison inmate with a metal cup."
Perhaps he is D-E-A-D.
BTW-----to all of you who interjected your very imaginative rat scenarios......................Rat periphrenelia does not qualify as an acceptable birthday present!!!!

What I'm afraid to tell you is that...yes...your rat is probably dead. But he's probably toes-up behind the drywall and when he starts to decay, I can only hope that the smell of the sewer masks the eau de rodent aroma. Well, at least it's not summer in TX because your decaying smell will be happening sooner than later.
GOOD LUCK!
