In the morning of one warm Saturday, Ben spotted a snake in our yard, so he and I had a jolly time hunting it down and terminating its rental contract here. **sidenote*turns out this was a nonpoisonous snake of 4 foot length**Then, in the afternoon, we had a big gecko take up residence in the kitchen. Again, we permanently terminated his rental contract (boy, he made a ruckus, though).
Then, in the wee hours of the night, Ty cried out cuz he was scared. Turns out the noise he was hearing was an ROUS (Rat of unusual size) in his room, munching away on some stolen treat. Ben chased him around, turning on our bedroom light at 2 am (I was not impressed with that part). But we put a rat trap up the following night. Apparently, said rat was none too bright, because he got caught the very first night the trap was up. I'm not complaining. And, as seems to be the pattern, his rental contract was also terminated.
And we did not get the monkey, sad to say. However, Ben came home with a puppy the other day from one of the tribal locations. Poor little gaffer was a wee bit sad to leave his momma, but he's adjusting well here. It's quite the thing to potty train two at a time (Ellie is the other one, in case there is any confusion on that one). Ty picked the name of Leo, after the character on Little Einsteins. It fits.
