LAST EDITED ON Jan-14-17 AT 10:42PM (MST)[p]I noticed some "sign" of wood rats in my wood shed the other day, so I decided to set a Victor rat trap. It happens every winter when the critters look for a dry place to hole up.
My wife feeds the little Douglas squirrels almonds and walnuts on the back deck so I can only set the rat trap after dark when the squirrels are sleeping. That's fine. Whatever.
I caught a rat the first night, so I set it again the next night.
The next morning (this morning) while it was still dark I checked the trap but it was empty. I got side tracked with something else and left it set. I forgot all about it.
About noon my wife went out to the wood shed to get some firewood.
All I hear is my name and a bunch of swear words. She never swears. Yep, one of her pets got killed.
I cooked my own dinner tonight and it's pretty quiet around here.
