Sometimes I am too cocky.

Alright, alright..................

Templeton is NOT dead he DID check in to Chateau Laurel and now he is ordering room service! As I sat enjoying my Sunday afternoon watching a movie, surfing the net, and loving that little Lexi was asleep beside me-snoring-so cute...............it happened, my worst nightmare!

Something caught my eye in the kitchen. I looked up from my screen and there he was. He was sauntering toward me as if to say "Hey lady, what's to eat? I'm starvin' here!". Well as you can imagine, I let out a few choice words and as I did....... I...... startled HIM! He jumped straight up in to the air, turned and headed back toward the kitchen. He stopped......... turned and looked at me........Again a few choice names came spilling out of my mouth............ he then turned and ran from whence he came...........under the stove; back to his nicely appointed suite.

Mr. Health Inspector got a call on his cell phone on a Sunday!

Who knew that one little call on a non-work day (especially for those hard working gov't folks) VM would cause such a rauccus! Apparently, this day in age, you need to retain a lawyer AND a government entity in order to get your condo association to get rid of a rat that has litterally taken over your home. Again, I remind you I do not live in the ghetto, in fact a unit my just like mine recently sold for over 400K!!!! Presidents have lived here, diginiatries have lived here.......etc.

Hint to those of you have rodent problems........do not pass go; do not collect $100; go directly to the Health Department! They rock! There is talk of brining in the "LARGE" snap traps---Whoo hoo!

Stay tuned for more Rat Chronicles!
