Depressing


Rest In Peace, BeeBee LaRue, who passed away from old age yesterday. I know she was just a rat, but, she was my sweet little friend and I spent every day with her. I'll miss her. I buried her under the Butterfly bush where it's nice and cool. And yes, that is a papal crown. She deserves it.

And rest in peace to my tomato plants that my bitch neighbor sprayed and killed. I have one cherry tomato left. Those people are so childish, I wish I had a start of Kudzo.

  1. OMG - we have tons and tons of it here that chokes out everything. I wish I knew how to get you some there because I would.

  2. I'd plant it on the fence and block her out in a week. She's so mean.

  10. Pat,
    Sorry to hear you lost your friend BeeBee La Rue. You gave her a good life. I had a rat named Rex as a girl and he was a loving sociable little guy. Always sat on my shoulder. It's so hard to lose our animal companions. RIP BBLaRue.

  14. Pat,
    I'm so sorry to hear that your pet/baby/loyal friend died. Stay strong.

    When my dog died I swear I cried for over a year. I bought a new puppy (who i love just as dearly). But not a day goes by still that I don't miss my best friend.

    I can only tell you that time heals.

  17. Sorry to hear about BeeBee. I am sure you gave her a great life. And a big F-U to your neighbor. A little Wisteria always goes a long way. :) And it is beautiful in May/June when it blooms.

  18. Aw, I am so sorry, DD. It is so hard to lose a pet. I just lost my wonderful tortie cat two weeks ago (also from old age) and I still feel awful about it. I hate when people say "Oh, it was only a [cat/rat/dog/any other kind of pet]". No...it's not ONLY a pet...it is a friend.

    Rest in Peace, little BeeBee.

  19. RIP little BeeBee.

    So sorry about your loss. I know you're going to miss her, she was your little buddy for a long time.

    Give Nikki a hug.

  20. First of all, RIP poor BB! :( Even though I breed rats for snake food, I have several that are my pets (Susie & Blaze), and my son knows they are NEVER to be considered as food!

    Secondly, is this the neighbor with all the yapping dogs? A squirt gun with ammonia/water in it is a VERY good deterrent if you want them to stfu. (It also kills grass, flowers, etc) ;-) We had some neighbors like that; I told my son that urine, after it sits, turns stale and becomes a bleaching agent. He bought a squirt bottle and began saving pee in it; when it turned brown he would sneak out at night and squirt their car---stupid fuckers left their windows down-- their house, their lawn chairs....they never could figure out what that awful odor was! Now, they don't live near us anymore. A friend of mine saved the pot of water from a crab boil until it was rotten then snuck out at night and poured it all over his neighbor's front yard--grass, flowers, everything. OMG did it stink!!!! HAHA

    Tia, when you find out the cost of shipping, please send me an email and I will gladly help you pay for it! This bitch has got to be brought down. She's lucky I don't live near her. I can be vicious when crossed.

  21. All pets bring joy to our sad little lives. They know us and rely on us maybe even love us better than some people.

  22. So sorry DD! At least she went on her own...RIP BeeBee...you'll be missed!


    And FUCK YOU DD's BATSHIT NEIGHBORS!

  23. RIP BeeBee. Like Briezy said, no matter the species, if we loved them, it's hard to say good-bye. My husband and I had two guinea pigs as our first pet as a married couple, and we still think about those two little guys often. If we were fighting, they always brought us back together. Hug Nikki extra tight tonight : )

  24. Awww! Sorry about BeeBee, she was such a cutie. There is some damn bad karma coming for your neighbor, that's all I've got to say about that.

  25. aww r.i.p. little bee bee la rue. she wasn't just a rat, she was a being that made you happy , and that's all that matters. please excuse my lack of capital letters, i'm feeling a little lazy.

  26. ha I dumped rancid trash can juice which was full of maggots next to my crazy neighbor's mailbox in the middle of summer last year. that shit was fun-ky.and i giggled my ass all the way home.

  27. So sorry to hear of your loss. It's a tough thing, the pet death. You have my sympathies.
    RIP BeeBee LaRue. Sweet little rodent.

  28. Pat, I am so sorry you lost your buddy BeeBee. These little guys worm their way into our hearts and leave a little hole when they're gone. Rest in peace, BeeBee, you were a good rat, and I think your friend misses you very much.

    I am very intrigued by Kim's ideas of how to deal with the neighbor situation. I did not know that urine was a bleaching agent, and it didn't occur to me that ammonia water would do much of anything, but I am going to have to store those mentally for just in case.
    Why on earth would anyone spray and kill tomatoes? They are just stupid, aren't they? You need some weapon in your arsenal that will make their lives hell.
    Wisteria or Rose of Sharon sounds great, but I don't think a simple barrier is going to work with these people. Just my opinion. . .

  29. Oh, Beebee! I am so sorry, DD. She was such a sweetheart, and I know you're hurting.

    I will send you kudzu seeds. That shit grows so fast and furious, and nothing will kill it. Just say the word.

    You'd have to keep it cropped back on your side, but it will overgrow the fence and your neighbor before she can say, "wtf!"

  35. So sorry for your loss. The crown is a nice tribute.

    Here in Michigan, we have an invasive species called Buckthorn that is impossible to kill, AND has the added bonus of thorny spears that you really don't see until you've got a painful handful. I'm just sayin' . . .

  36. Aww I'm so sorry to hear about Bee Bee. I'll plant a grape and a cheerio in the garden in her honour.

    I say kudzo is an excellent idea and it's edible too. Win/win. I wish I could send you some but we aren't blessed/cursed with it here.
