I Hate Rats (4 Footed Furry Critters)
Been doing the DREADED Clean-Up the shed thing. Yes, I live in the country, but we have wood-rats (aka pack rats). The thing is these have stolen ALL kinds of things for their nests. (DAMN, I HATE RATS --- DID I MENTION THAT) I found Barbie clothes, cardboard shredded, insulation, various foods ie dog food, duck food, etc, The DAMN RAT even packed off tools, screwdrivers, electrical supplies (we are re-doing the inside of several rooms), (DAMN, DID I MENTION THAT I HATE RATS!).....:gunem-dow
Now -- I have to clean the shed, trap the rats, throw away a bunch of stuff because it is damaged...in addition to helping my daughter mud (drywall type mud) her room, feed cattle, horses, duck, etc.
My daughter had in storage an a Breyer Horse Barn (4 those unfamiliar w/Breyer horses, they are collector type stuff, can be toys etc) this barn is probably 18 inches square, 12-15 inches tall... IT WAS STUFFED by the rat...
Stating this have I mentioned DAMN I HATE RATS ! As my daughter (22yrs) is going through the little barn -- she says if the rat latches on to my finger, I'm going to land in your lap.....I was NOT sitting down...:poke:
NO, it did not latch on to her finger, we did not even see it, THANKFULLY OR I WOULD HAVE SHOT IT (with a shotshell meant for snakes). Hey dead is dead !
Keeping all this in mind ---- I keep hoping I won't get that nasty fever those kinds of critters are known for spreading around... hemoraggic fever ? Something like that -- its nasty in some case kill ya... being dead wouldn't be bad, just the time it takes to kill ya.... DAMN ---- HAVE I SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NOT LIKING RATS !!!!!!!!:angry-fla lol ALOT
The "ranger" isn't having a good day.... (ok now's it's yesterday) anyway, things just aren't "their abnormal crappy stuff" it's above & beyond....
I know this is not a big problem, as problems go..................Certain things get to me worse than others... I getting used to the abnormal crappy stuff and now this just "triggered" me for whatever reason..................
I'm not really afraid of the wood rat, actually they are fairly harmless critters,
THEY JUST NEED TO LIVE IN THE WOODS--- NOT MY SHED !!!!!!
:cuckoo: Maybe I will start feeling better now that I have that off my plate..
Hope u readers enjoyed this real-life soap of ranch life... ranch life is NOT romantic............ or fun ....................... IT SUCKS ON SOME DAYS !!!
