re: Rats in the Attic

true story. i always find something new in the pool strainer if you've ever followed my threads on here but the other morning little CAD and dad went to check the strainer (little CADs absolute favorite part of the day) and found 2 black mice in the strainer barely alive because a pool toy had blocked the water flow so they were hanging around the edges.

of course it turned into a damn fiasco because now i had to 'save' the mice instead of dumping the dead mice in the trash like usual.

the SO loves the damn things so we ended up drying them with shop towels and making them a warm little home in an old ice cooler complete with newspapers and lots of cheese and a little ramikin of water.

my reward was when i went to move something around one of the dman things bit me. it didn't break the skin or i would have been off to the vet with a dead mouse to get checked for rabies but at that point it was time for the mice to go to their new home 1/2 mile down the road at the creek.
