Mice do not scare me - unless one runs across my bare toes. Rats, on the other hand are EVIL....must die....must kill rats....die rats, die..... (Of course, I want mice dead, too).

I love rats! I've had them as pets several times. The best one was Milo. He used to follow us around the house, climb up our bedspread when we were getting ready for bed so he could be petted before we put him back in his cage, and he was so intimidating to our first cat, Molly, that she used to run from him. He also rode on my shoulder.

I love rats, except for the roof rats we had in our last home....they had to get poisoned to stop their destruction in the attic.

We had rats cruising around our last neighborhood. I don't mind them as pets but that was gross. One day I saw one sitting right on top of our compost pile! We had to stop composting there because it drew them.

But we found our sweet baby dog Golden Retriever who we thought would not hurt a fly would go right out, catch one, break its neck and present them to us dead, just like he was retrieving a ball. It kind of made up for him unstuffing the couch.

Hate rats hate mice. Never had a rat in the house though. Just outside. Smartest darn things! I used to work in a pet store and there was actually one I liked. I was cleaning his cage one day and scooped some litter and accidentally he went with it. I was about to dump the trash in the mall's big dumpster when I saw him move. Thank goodness! (In my defense I started work at 5 am and I didn't drink coffee at the time!) Anyway, I had to carry him by hand back to the store. I was in love by the time we got back. He was so snuggly! I did not buy him but regretted it. He was purchased a day or two later.
I picked up something in our garden shed a few years ago and had a mouse jump out and run up my arm. I almost didn't survive. The mouse ran up a drain pipe so she did. Her babies did not.

freakin' cold out there but NO snow. i like it better this way

ducks: days are numbered. that stupid drake FLEW AT ME AND WOMPED ME. it was like being hit by a flying chevy. i had Ti teach him a lesson. he doesnt think is so funny anymore. stupid drakes.

clucks: them hens better get it in gear. i got ONE egg yesterday. *looks at soup pot* hum.....

geese: adorable. but i think i have to list some of the younger ones on CL

meats: tomorrow is their lucky day! i keep telling them that "every day is sunday on the other side" - its one of the old timey hymns from our little church. the irony slays me if you consider 'sunday chicken dinner'...

goats: out there being fat. i gotta call the hay guy

dogs: hilarious. Kai is getting huge - she is gonna be our monster pup.

pigs: HA! just kidding. they are resting comfortably in the freezer. i have a roast out for later today with sauerkraut. whooot!

Insane Cat Posse: Nicholas is on high alert again. i'm watching for more opportunities to run screaming...i mean... to cheer him on with his mousing abilities.

kitchen: a disaster but i'm on a mission to get this place in shipshape. with the cold and my bad lungs being outside really isnt an option...thus begins my winter incarceration. no one is happy about that least of all the junk that is everywhere. i'm backin' up the truck, baby!

and dang we gotta get off farm. both of us are about nuts. but no where to go, nothing to do, and gas is superduper expensive.

that is all.

happy monday!!!!
