I usually go out the garage, but I just happened to open the front door to let the sun in to warm up the house that day.<BR/><BR/>My mom has all kinds of critter stories, but they live in the country, so it's to be expected. She found a rattlesnake on top of their house one time and decided she couldn't rest until it was dead. I would have gone back inside the house and hoped that it just went away. She flagged the neighbor guy down, who killed it for her. <BR/><BR/>She also shot a mortally wounded rabbit who had been caught by the cat. I was home for that one and had to go in the bathroom and turn on the fan when she did it. I couldn't bear the sound! I become utterly useless (and senseless) when it comes to dead, dying, injured, or unwanted animals!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309719469228658493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670202504587331438.post-32208225752596914712009-02-15T21:58:00.000-08:002009-02-15T21:58:00.000-08:00Oh Sarah, I have not read blogs in awhile, and wh...Oh Sarah, I have not read blogs in awhile, and when I pulled yours up, this cracked me up,<BR/>I am sooo sorry you had to "take care of it",<BR/>but it looks like you did a very good job and figured it out.

And besides, I wouldn't have a great story to blog about!<BR/><BR/>BTW, I just noticed that if you aren't a regular commentor for some reason your name won't show up. I am not smart enough to know how to fix that. So if y'all don't mind, can you write your name at the end of your comments? I am WAY too curious.

Later that evening when I was in my car preparing to leave, I turn on my headlights and Dead Kitty & Little Cat-friend are sitting in a corner at the neighbors house eerily staring at me. It was seriously creepy. Poor Dead Kitty, guess he/she met the business end of a bigger, meaner creature. How curious that of all the lawns on your street it picked yours to take its last breath. <BR/><BR/>I'm so proud of you for being your own man!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456045424521708232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670202504587331438.post-10342964174611162772009-02-02T11:11:00.000-08:002009-02-02T11:11:00.000-08:00I am the same way!

Maintenance could never catch them so my super told me I could set my own traps. I did and as soon as I caught one, I called my super to come clean it up! She did and I washed my hands.Mommahenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124318173934183203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670202504587331438.post-88230798655756850052009-02-02T08:35:00.000-08:002009-02-02T08:35:00.000-08:00Gayla, I had to take pictures.....it was sort of a...Gayla, I had to take pictures.....it was sort of a homeowner's rite of passage for me!

He didn't even come close to fitting in your box ... but it sounds like you made due. I'm proud of you. You took care of the whole thing by yourself and only sent 200 hundred text messages during the event. Way to go!!!<BR/><BR/>When I see animals on the side of the road ... or in the road for that matter ... I always tell myself they are sleeping. It makes me feel better about it. Sometimes they are sleeping on a belly pillow with some goop for a blanket ... that is a little more unsettling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670202504587331438.post-38525069982618877752009-02-01T16:54:00.000-08:002009-02-01T16:54:00.000-08:00I am not sure, but that may be the cat Bentley got...I am not sure, but that may be the cat Bentley got ahold of this summer.
