A little vent, that's kinda funny.

I'm getting ready to do this interior for a listing. Home's vacant, re-keyed, and whatever. And not in a completely horrid area, but not the best, so dumb me, I went alone.

Pull in the drive, and notice that on the mailbox, attached to the house, and right by the front door...There's a dead cat!

I can handle a lot of things, but not decompsing stuff. Especially when it's been as hot as it's been the last couple of weeks. Husband's out of town, my bothers' are both working out of the area today. Any advice on who I should call to remove it?

Oh my! I have only had dead birds. Maybe animal control?

I am LOL also...just so you know! Now because I said that I am probably going to come across something worse! LOL!! :p

Take a shovel with you next time you go out there and give it an aerial burial in the neighbor's back yard.

rubber gloves and a paint mask baby...

:p

I'm sorry... and by the way danni, I'm a bit scared about what this belly laugh might do to my karma too.

Will a paint mask work do ya think? Just go to Lowe's or someplace to get one?

I mean, my window was down just a little, and I could smell it from the car. I'm still smelling it. Luckily I didn't yack, but it was close.

It is funny though, in a really gross kind of way. My next one better be better, after this, that's all I can say.

Gary we are in trouble! We are probably going to get a double whammy!!

When I was on the Fire Dept. we would use Cherry Vicks under our nose. Good luck!!!

A little Vicks vaporub under your nose and/or a good clothespin! Rubber gloves and double plastic bags, put it at the road for the garbage men, or bury it...
I thought the dead, rotting dogs in the yard were bad, but I can at least think THEY died of natural causes, but a cat on a mailbox???

On the mailbox? Put a stamp on it, maybe it was returned for more postage! lol.

I found a dog on one of my listings... I called animal control, they picked it up...

KT --- Don,t mess with it yourself, call animal control... If you were close to yaking just by a distant smell, it will surley be worse up close and the smell will attach to your clothes and follow you until you change and wash them...

Animal control sounds like a plan. I hope they'll work with me on this.

Forgot to mention, it was a BIG cat, too. Looked like it would go 15 pounds on the old bathroom scale.

LOL @ Ben!!!

15 lbs?!?! What I want to know is who in the *bleep* put him up there?!?! Or did he just decide that would be his final resting place?!?

When ya call animal control, tell 'em it's wounded so they'll move.

Well it is, how do you think it died.

Gary, you mean I should skirt the truth a little??? =] Summit county' so screwed up I don't know that it would matter. Ya know, one less cat in the whole overpopulated cat epidemic thing.

Ben, your idea's the best, too funny!

We have had dead cats, dead dogs, and always--dead birds. The trashout guy has to take it with the trash. I just don't want to find any dead humans.
