I guess you may say that I am a city girl. Yet even in the city, this nature stuff is not for me. I like the nature stuff like beautiful flowers, a sunset, various plants or even maybe a water fall. You all might think I am weak for what I am about to tell you, but that's your opinion... The only kind of bugs I like are the lady bugs. THAT'S IT!!!
On Sunday afternoon, the June bugs kept coming in the house. I guess they aren't too smart because one slammed into my head. I guess it didn't see me or something. Then I had fun catching those bugs in water bottles and letting them loose outside.
Later, as I was looking outside, Out of the corner of my eye, I just happened to see an animal about as big as my hand walk pass the clear window. ((I think the animal came from the nearby trees.)) I thought and hoped it was my imagination, but the long tail gave me the creeps. When I looked out in the corner, I thought it would have been sitting there waiting to freak me out, but it had disappeared.
Any way, I didn't see or hear it again. I was sleeping peacefully until 4:30 am when I heard this horrible sound. IF I didn't see the animal beforehand I would have thought someone was breaking in the house. It was very loud. It actually sounded like the animal was ripping apart the walls; if only I could have called someone to help but it was too late. It made a bunch of noise for a half hour and then it was silent. I tried to be brave as I investigated the situation, but anyone that knows me well, knows I don't like that many furry animals especially since it was an unexpected guest.
Around 6:30 am, I looked outside and let the dog out. I saw that creature again. It looked like a fluffy brown and black genie pig, but it had a long tail... I watched it out of curiosity. It had jumped out of the outside dryer vent yet when it saw me, it hopped right back into the dryer vent quickly. I didn't know what to do. Yet, I was leery about going into the garage. That early Monday morning, I didn't sleep well. I didn't know what to do so I stuck an empty water bottle in the dryer vent to either keep it in or out. I am hoping it left before I plugged up the hole.
Tuesday, I woke up at 3 am to a horrible smell. I thought, wow, I must have killed the small animal or it's stuck in the dryer vent. The smell had seeped through the walls and was burning my nostrils and eyes. I opened an outside door to see where it was coming from. It turns out there was a skunk in the neighborhood that morning. ugh.
Tuesday p.m. - As I am watering the grass, I see that I had also watered a brown stick. I just about jumped out of my skin when the stick moved. The long lizard started to enter the house and I was not about to let that happen. I wet it to get it moving in another direction...I think lizards are creepy...
I do not want to see any living animal except the dog I am watching for the next couple of days... and NO, I do not go camping, so don't even invite me. LOL... My way of camping or "roughing it", is either at Pinecrest or a motel 6. That's it. LOL
Well, I am done nature whininig. I guess that's all I have to say.
Tanya, Tanya, how funny! It could only happen to you! I think it happens to you because of your dislike for critters. It acts like a magnet. Remember to keep the doors closed at all times, even when you're here. A neighbor told me that "my frogs" go into her garage!
Teensy - I will gladly rescue you from reptiles - but I dont do bugs or rodents well either. And I am mortally afraid of cockroaches ----- it gives me the eeby geebies just thinking about them - YUCK - and I remember a story Tamara Acosta told at a coffee shop about a wall covered with bugs on vacation ----- yucky!!! Big yucky bugs don't seem to have any purpose in heaven so I hope they aren't there for some reason - Please Lord, may we have paradise without big ugly bugs?

ReplyDeleteTanya,
ReplyDeleteI think that I have got you beat with the critters. At least you don't have Racoons and opossoms eating your dog food.
