The Rat

Yesterday I walked into my garage to see a blur across the wall. I thought that it may have been a bird in there. I tried to find it where I thought it flew to, but there was nothing. About fifteen minutes later I saw it again. Except this time I caught it off guard so it was a little bit slower. It was a nice size RAT. It was eating on the deer corn that I had on a shelf. So I took all of the deer corn and I went put it out in the woods, for the deer. I remembered that at Teakwood Apts we got this rat zapper from the manager. That thing took out our rat problem the first night we had it, so of course I kept it knowing it worked well. I went in the house found it, put new batteries in it, and set it up for the kill.

This is what I found this morning:

Yes the rat is so big its tail was hanging out.


Just something for you to laugh about: I was telling Justin about this rat and he said "I hope that thing has enough juice to kill that rat." (since I was telling him I had a huge rat) Well last night I had a dream that there was a rat in the trap but when I went to pick up the trap the rat ran out! So, this morning I will admit that I was hesitant to pick up the trap holding a rat so big that the tail was hanging out. I would have screamed like a little girl if that thing would have jumped on my face when I turned it to look at the rat.

Well I suppose the zapper is more humane than, say, a metal spring-loaded bar cracking the rat's neck. Too bad it's already dead. I would have suggested setting up a night-vision video camera to catch the light show in action. Can you say YouTube?

i swear if i find another rat moving around in the garage (or anywhere at the house). i am going to set up a camera and do that. i know that i can film at least 30 minutes at a time. i am sure that they come out right at dark.

something about that lightshow makes me want to see that!
