Oh my goodness! I have never heard so much noise from these hounds like this ever! They are non-stop whining, growling, baying, howling and in generally going absolutely nuts! (And driving me there in the bargain!)
Last night sometime our resident rat (some of you may remember the story) got himself caught in the trap under the sink... but he thrashed and wriggled and tossed and wrestled and fought and managed to get out of the trap and disappear into the wall behind the dishwasher.
This morning I checked under the kitchen sink and when I opened the cupboard door ... OH MY LORD I have never smelled such a stench! There was blood ALL over the place under the sink in slashes and splotches and trails... Rat Blood and Adrenaline combined together and who knows what else but the stink!?! :blink:
:blink:
As soon as that smell hit the air both hounds started baying and running around the house with their noses pressed to the floor and up in the air and when they couldn't get a fix on it (it seriously filled up the whole house) they started whining and carrying on like I've never seen or heard before.
I had to practically drag them out to the yard so I could clean the mess up.
They howled and scratched and threw themselves against the door til I let them back in! As soon as they were in the house the baying and howling and whining and growling started up again.
Everyone is getting a little on edge from the noise they're making ... it's getting irritating to say the least and I must say somewhat worrisome! I'm concerned! I hope they stop soon!
I also hope that rat turns up somewhere and isn't just going to die in the walls or the floor somewhere! With this smell from a little blood I can only imagine how bad the place will stink up with the weather getting warmer if it's in the walls!!!
Any suggestions regarding the hounds noise and behaviour right now?... Just hope it passes soon or?.... They weren't even distracted by CHEESE! :blink:
