dead rat

[nature boy]

yeah so guess what one of the day care parents called and complained about sending me outside to clean up?

go ahead...

guess.


freaking gross.

Why's that your job?

[nature boy]

it's not really part of my job description, but who's job description would it fall under?
i was here so i might as well do something about it.

but it was gross. the body was still soft.

Not as gross as pulling up by of your carport and hearing. "POP"... hmm I wonder what that was??? And then exiting your car and finding a thrid of a rat's body on the ground in the lane just by your car, a third ( mostly the head and brain ) lodged in the tread of your brand new tires... and a thrid pretty much in a neat symetrical splatter pattern just off the side of the body. Kids play there, it took me a while to clean that up. Not only was the body still soft, it was steaming.

I think you call the municipality for dead animal pick up especially if is on public property like the sidewalk or road.

[nature boy]

what is a thrid? not once, but twice...

i didn't think of calling the city. it was on our property (like, right in the bushes of our property) and i figured heck i have a plastic bag and a dumpster right here. it was done within 45 seconds.

i kind of wonder if it was a rat or a big mouse. i guess it was kinda cute for a corpse.

you're not as hardcore as Watson's dad. I remember one time when i was still working for dave, i wanted to get some air so i stepped out to watson's back yard. When i went out i saw watson's dad walking around, stop look down and pick up a little leaf. Wondering what he was doing i kept watching and then he walked over to the other side of the yard, use the leaf like it was tissue paper, and picked up a dead rat laying in the yard... lol... i was think, gross, i suppose he did use a leaf to pick it up, and i figured he'd go chuck it in the trash or something, but then all of a sudden he chucked it over the fence to the yard beside watson's house... lol.. awesome...

watson's dad was a winner for sure.
