“Isn’t he cute?” my friend Rena asked.
She petted the docile rat inside a large cage, as if it were a cute puppy!
“I hate rats.”
“Why?” Rena asked as if I were insulting her and not that pest in a cage.
Rats got into my dresser, peed on my expensive scarves, used my lingerie for bedding, and destroyed $2000 worth of clothing. They left pellets on the floor everywhere.
“But my Buddy isn’t like that.”
“Let him out of his cage, go on vacation for a week, and find out.”
Sometimes, people have to learn the hard way.
I still remember the day we killed it’s babies in our car, the car smelled like a dead man 🙄 it took 2 weeks to find out what’s smelling 🤔 and then we had to remove the carpet to find that and removed it 😳 these little critters can spoil our day for weeks 🙄😂 Nice story ✨… Have a beautiful day 🥳
