I dont like bugs.
I didnt like bugs in France, so the dr was an eye opener.
Now I know where the inspiration for Men-in-Black came from. I am sure some research would show the producer has vacationed in the dr some time .
Thankfully confronted with all sorts and sizes of creepy crawlies, I am better, much better with bugs now.
I still dont like them, mind you.
But I can ignore them, and even stay in proximity without getting cold sweats and clammy hands. In this categry falls, bees, aberon de coco, grillo, esperanza......
Or I muster up all my inner courage, and kill them proper...... but I still get the shivers . This would be, spiders, cienpieds......
That said, last night one of my dogs was barking like..... a mad dog....kind of figures.
On a side note, one gets used to the diffrent types and tones of ones dogs bark.
This was a playfull siding on anger bark....so no imminent threat of house invasion.
So, I promptly ignore the barking.
40 mn later he is still barking.
So out I go to see whats up. In flipflops and boxer shorts.
Whats that thingy cornered in the angle of the steps ?? A crab ? A rat ?
No a effing plate size cacata !! I kid you not.
A sibling of said beast was lying overturned, on its back, minus 2 hairy " legs " . Dead, I thought.
Anyway, the live cacata was cornered and entrenched and the dog couldnt get to it. Wolf ( the dog in question ), was snapping at it , the cacata was swipping at Wolf.
First thought, i hope it cant kill a dog !!
Second thought, how am I going to kill it ?
I have some experience with cacatas, usally in the dead form, in the patio in the morning. Thank you doggys for keeping me safe.
Mainly they are fist-size spiders, and I can cope with that. ( just about ).
This one was a hairy beast of a spider.
I was going to squash it with a stick, but opted not to, just in case it pulled the stick out of my hands.
I then decided on baygoning it but it involved getting up close and into cacata-jumping range. So no. Aliens was also a dr inspired movie. No way i want it jumping on to my face and laying eggs in my eyes.....thats a big no-no.
Lastly, I thought of using the shotgun on it, but I might of whacked Wolf, or gotten a ricochet in my genitals. So bad idea.
So I just pretend I didnt see the Beast, and went back to bed
This morning, its gone. The question is where. Hopefully to the conuco. I am just about to sacrifice a rooster with my teeth and smear its blood on my chest, while reading verses from the bible, in spanish, and backwards. Just to put all the chances on my side.....
Also the pseudo-dead sibling is also gone. But left its 2 severed legs behind.
I wish the dogs have disposed of the cadaver, but that would be a first time ever thing. They actually leave all the things they kill out on the patio for me to see, in hope of praises, I guess. Over the years there has been countless, mice, rats, chickens, cienpieds, cacactas, other dogs, cats, the occasional infant, shoes ( some with feet still attached )...... good dogs ! Nice dogs !
