Here today, gone tomorrow…
When I came home from work last night, we had a pizza and movie night. It has been a very long week, and it was all I was really capable of. That was followed by a couple of glasses of wine. When everyone was certain that I was nice and relaxed, Darren suggested to Mollie that she show me what was in the fish tank.
Now, the fish tank has been devoid of fish for quite some time. It has been gathering dust in the spare room. Why would anything be in the fish tank, I wondered. I followed Mollie into her bedroom. She opened her wardrobe door. Why would the fish tank be in the wardrobe, I wondered. Just before she took it out, she made me promise not to kill or otherwise harm her. There was a sinking feeling within. I promised not to inflict physical harm, but reserved the right to throw a tantrum.
She had the good grace to look sheepish as she revealed the tank and its contents.
Some of you may remember that I have recently been having issues with mouses. Not mice, mouses. Apparently one of the fucktard cats caught a mouse last night. Mollie ‘rescued’ it, as she does, and decided to keep it as a pet. Not what I had in mind. I really wasn’t in the mood to argue, so I let it go.
This morning, she opened the fish tank to feed the little darling, and guess what? It ran away!
That must be a world record, for shortest length of time a pet has been owned. I might go and ring the good people at Guinness.
Ha ha ha… You just wanted that vermine gone, I noticed you didn’t see you mentioning how you Accidently/perposely let poor Turtle go…

Now if the cats would kill their catch you’d be right!

Well frankly, if ye hadn’t managed to stop the bloody fish from escaping I didn’t fancy your chance with the mouse.

Oh, no… How funny!! Do you still not have rabies in Australia? Because I can’t imagine putting some wild mammal in a cage ’round here, you kind of deserve what you get if you do…
So, what’s the mouse’s name? You didn’t mention that. Speedy? Houdini? What?

In her wardrobe! Nice stench of mouse wee all over her clothes. Those things stink as well as creep me the hell out. Glad it ran away

Cat needs to do work. It’s as useless as a midget lover.
