We have pets. We have Junior
Junior is a poodle. He is filthy and currently being groomed. Junior sleeps with the children and helps to wake them up each morning. Junior is a working dog.
Junior also catches birds. He is a five year old dog and he must have brought me a hundred birds, probably 20 a year is accurate.
Junior does not catch rodents. This is partly a good thing because we have a hamster in a cage, we also have a free range hamster. Currently we have a frog too, but I’m not feeding it so, hopefully it will die soon as did it’s friend.
Right now I’ve had it. There are three empty rat traps in my house, one of them was $50, the peanut butter has been nibbled off, but there are no dead rodents. At this point I wouldn’t even care if there was a dead hamster, I just want something to die and Junior is useless.
I was ThisClose to getting a cat and then I saw this.
I’m off to reset the traps and hope for death.
My theory: Cats make great neighborhood speed bumps.
‘Nuff said.
That’s so funny! After seeing a mouse in our new apartment (I live in NYC), I have been trying to convince my husband to get a cat. I turned to Twitter & Facebook to build my case (he wanted to know which “cool guys” had cats). Suffice it to say, there are more dog lovers on social media than cat lovers – at least among my friends. A cat/dog “war of words” even broke out amongst my friends on my Facebook.
Here’s to hoping that the filled holes and the borrowed cat hair (I’m borrowing from a cat-lover/she swears that it is a mouse repellent) does the trick!
At my in-law’s farm, dogs were the ones who killed rats. Mayhaps it’s time to get Junior a doggy friend who will take care of the rodents?
Not sure I’d get a cat … although maybe that’s a better pet to have than a rat.
My cats used to hate me… Evidenced by their urination habits (right on my spot on the couch). After a long and hateful despsing of one another, we are now at toleration.
They are starting to act more lovingly toward me, the one who normally fills their food bowls and cleans their litter boxes.
I’m starting to not hate them quite so much.
i have one dog.
i have 5 cats.
i had a mole once. i don’t know how it got into my house but, you can be sure that moles last thought was, why the fuck did i pick this place.
