Of rats and flies.....

I've decided that our cat, Mrs. Sippy, from the states of Mississippi, is worth her weight in gold. We sat down to eat one day last week, and I heard her making a rucus in the living room. Went to check out what was going on. She was trying to get behind the computer. I watched for awhile and realized that she had a mouse back there. Richard came over, pulled out the computer, and out came a 5 inch rat! Yikes!! It was bigger than the cat could kill, but we managed to get it out of the house. If the cat hadn't gotten it who knows where it might have made a nest or ended up.

Then there are the flies. It is rainy season, and we live in a town with hundreds of cows, pigs and chickens. We try to keep the doors closed, but they seem to get in anyway. We can take the fly swatter and kill 20 or so, and still there are more. Oh the joys of life.....
