Tom just went to take the trash up and said he saw no dogs or vehicles. Jesse must have them out with him in the truck. They wouldn’t be this quiet otherwise.

There was a dead mouse under the kitchen sink this morning. I thought I heard movement through where the water pipe runs when I was in the bathroom the other day.

Puerco has a tumor on his side. He’s so fat I wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t picked him up yesterday and felt it, but it’s quite obvious. I’m not surprised as this is what kills many rats and mice. The effects aren’t instantaneous, though. It will take 3-4 months before he dies, but he will just about have lived his full lifespan of 2 years.

The question is, do we get another rat when these two are gone? Do we get a dog? Or do we just take a break from pets for a while? With the way the hypocrite up the hill lets his dogs run loose, I’d be afraid to get a small dog and have his dogs attack it.
