Missing Bandit

Today was a great day. We decided to head to Targhee and go snowboarding with the kidos instead of my usual Saturday cleaning jobs. We even took little Coop with us and let me tell you he had a BLAST. He was outside dancing on tables, giving everyone high fives, and making a lot of people smile. After we went boarding we ate some delicious pizza in downtown Driggs and headed home.

The whole day today Carson has been a little worried about his rats. He kept asking questions making sure that they were going to still be alive when we got home. We arrived home and headed inside Carson ran to his room and to his surprise Rat A was missing. Did you hear what I said? MISSING! There was a Rat running around our home making little rat poo poos, and doing little rat things. We spent hours looking for the little dude. Under every nook and cranny we searched, but he was nowhere to be found.

I started cleaning up the boys rooms, picking up dirty laundry that needed washed.........still NO rat. I headed to wash the laundry.........still NO rat. I needed to add one more sweatshirt to the wash.........and what to my wandering eyes appeared - starring right at me as I shut the lid..............A FREAKIN RAT. I yelled and screamed and made a big scene, but what do you expect when you see a rat swimming in your washing machine.

I could not believe my eyes. The little critter must have been hiding in the boys clothes, and when I went to put the clothes in the laundry he dropped in the machine. Oh crap, I can't even talk about it without getting the pee shivers. Well, happy to say that Rat A (now named Bandit)is now happy to be home with Rat B. The case of the missing Bandit is now solved.
