They are doing roadwork near my house and it seems to have literally stirred up a rat's nest. Saw one this weekend in my neighbour's yard that Oz chased, one on my way to work this AM, and my other neighbour saw one in his backyard. If they get in the house, I am torching it.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Punishingly Intricate
I would flip the fuck out if my dog caught a rat! Fortunately, she doesn't seem that interested in them. Bunnies, however, drive her WILD!

Brian tells of when they were demolishing Memorial Stadium (across the street.) It was a veritable river of rats at night and they ran rampant during the day. It was baaaad.

All right, 8pm meeting is done. I'm in my pajamas eating grapes and trying to convince myself to get in the shower and go to bed as soon as possible, because my alarm is set for 4:50am.
Maybe I'll have a gin and tonic first, though.

I gratefully petted two of the alley cats that keep my building mouse- and rat-free when I got home from work this evening.

Memorial Stadium made me think of Detective Munch bitching about it causing parking problems for his parties downtown.

I think when animals play with live things they hate it when their toys stop "playing"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Seabiscuit believes he can and should kill everything, but as he did not complete his internship with Wise Old Female Rez Dog TM before adopting us to begin his pampered suburban globe-trotting life, he cannot catch anything for the life of him. He caught and ate a rabbit once, early in our time together, and obviously he hunted before he found us, but since then it's been the gravy train, and by gravy train, I mean expensive specialty dogfood ordered over the internet.
He does break a stuffed toy's neck pretty damn good though.

I'm mad at myself that I was at the supermarket yesterday but forgot.
You can still do it! Lots of people are doing it this week instead of on the particular day. And if anybody did it but wants to remain anonymous, I can totally be your cutout and post your story on the event page.
