I'm telling you.......I KNOW I would have peed myself!!!!!
Just tonight, my daughter and I were outside with our 2 dogs (Yorkie & Aussie) and the Aussie was digging by a tree. I watched him and then saw him turn around with something in his mouth. He dropped it and it ran. I went over there because they were having a stare down. When I got close the little rodent started charging me with it's mouth open. Of course, I screamed like a girlie girl and ran. I turned around and saw the dog with it again. My daughter headed up to look and it charged her too. I was so worried trying to get her back that I didn't notice I hadn't really moved and it ran all the way up to my foot and all I saw was teeth. Now, I could be exaggerating because in a moment of fear you see all kinds of things. I honestly don't even know if it had teeth. My dog grabbed it again and this time it bit him in the mouth and he yelped and let it go. So now, I have to capture this thing and ask my husband when he gets home what it is so I know if I need to have my dog vaccinated. Now for those of you worrying about now, my daughter had the Yorkie in her hands at this moment and my husband was due to pull up in the drive in a matter of minutes (so it wasn't like my dog was going to have to wait for hours to find out if he was going to live or not). Capturing it was comical in itself. I didn't think it was a rat but didn't really know what it was either. It ended up being a gopher. Never have seen one of those though. I wouldn't allow my husband or the boys to do any harm to the creature so I took it over to our neighbor we don't like and let it lose in their yard. But that scared me enough and it was just a little creature. |
