A few nights ago, while tutoring Rosany in the sala, we saw a rat crawl in through a hole in the screening! Interestingly, Aaron had changed the screening, having noticed a hole earlier, the day before! The rats had chewed a hole through our screen! If they can chew a hole through that screen, they can figure out how to chew a hole through the kitchen screening and then we’ve got the bubonic plague on our hands. The rat must die!
Within a few minutes another rat crawled through the hole! We had two somewhere back behind the TV. We no longer have any cats, but our little white dog, Sucia, loves to chase, kill and possibly eat rats and mice, too. Rosany, Lauro and I, armed with brooms, buckets, Sucia and a license to kill, we trapped the two rats under the buckets (when I say “we”, I mean they did the trapping and I did the screaming). We weren’t sure how to kill them, but we took a chance on taking them outside and releasing them with the dogs and us ready for a fight.
In the end, the dogs finally got them both. It was exciting.
