September 20, 2012-The Rat

Guess I'm in trouble here at the building where I live. The woman next door spotted the rat and has told the whole building and the office so now I'm waiting for a formal letter telling me to quit feeding the animals. I have gotten two letters in the past 16 years but I ignore them.
Trouble is she has told everyone there's three rats. I have been watching the same rat for over a month now. Yes. There might be another one out there. But there's not three. YET! What these people don't know is I watch the rats to get used to where they walk and their habits before I kill them. That way I am not doing harm to the others. I don't often see rats here but when the guy towards the front on the other street was moving and sawing his logs up, he disturbed the rat's nest. The first time I saw the rat it was coming up through the drain grate, which means he got in that pipe on the other end, which is near the wood pile and traveled into my area. He's just another wild critter but the difference is they multiply fast because they have a very short life span. Only a year usually. So that's the way they keep their species going. People freak out at the sight of a rat.
I talked to the maintenance man and he brought his live trap over and put it down inside the grate. Not sure if that will work or not. Rats are very smart. I was hoping to wait till it got cold when the chipmunks would be gone but now I can't so if I do have to poison them, some chipmunks will die also.  And then if another animal eats the poisoned chipmunks they will get sick and die also. The rats go into  their dens and die so I don't worry about them.
If Andrea, the manager's daughter, gives me a hard time then I will have to start giving them a hard time about the mold and mildew I've been living with all these years.  And if I have to I'll get a reporter over here about that drain system that they never finished. These people take all the money the government gives them and only do half the job and pocket the rest. Don't piss me off! That's all I have to say!

As far as the animals go, I saw the mama deer with ehr three fawns yesterday and the fawns ran under her and started feeding. It was so cute. I got video of it and will add that to my other blog.
Now I will wait and see how this day is going to go.

The bitch upstairs started vacuuming before 8 so I turned my music on loud, which I never do, but I'm pissed at her too. Guess I'll be starting lots of trouble before I croak or get kicked out..Ha! Ha! Ha! And I don't give a shit!!!!
Have a nice day everyone.
