I just had a fah-reakin' damn bat in the house!!! My heart is racing now- Haven't been that "up close and personal" with one in a long time, if ever. Hmmm... Fight or flight? Punk stuck around to fight, (and I went and hid in the bathroom, on the floor, until I heard it screech). It was BIG too. Punk knocked it down, (bless her heart), and I picked it up with the wiener tongs and threw it back outside. *** Still shaking!!! I need a Valium. (Punk needs another treat)... XOXO, Me

Good grief ... poor bat
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletePoor bat my ass- He got to go home... And as I type he is probably trying to figure out how to get back in!
Going to try to relax now... A bit of self hypnosis comes in handy at times like these...
Nighty Night! And thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
me
Fight, Fight, Anna; have a tennis bat at hand at all times mate; hahahaha
ReplyDeletePS: I have answered you Q about the bush
sorry i just had to laugh like h-ll ty to quiet yourelf down dear friend--almost as bad as the mouse that liked our room on base lol
ReplyDeleteThat's happened to me before, hell of a job to get them out of the house once they get in!
ReplyDeletewow!!! not really afraid of them..but wouldn't want to watch tv with one...:)
ReplyDeletelmao I would have been running right behind you !!! Punk to the rescue, Gooooooooooo Punk, yes indeed she needs another doggy treat!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoo
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I actually went to sleep after all that?!
I have 2 tennis racquets (if Casey hasn't taken hers that is). They are in the basement.
ReplyDeleteThat bat was swooping all over -I was lucky to have crawled to the bathroom.
Then thought what if I shut him in the bathroom with me. I hadn't even turned the light on.
But then I heard my furniture out here being rearranged by the dog... So I knew it was still out here
ReplyDeletehehehe
Are ya done laughing yet?
I admit it IS funny. (But only when it happens to someone else)...
Mice startle me, but they do not scare me and give me goosebumps.
This bat did.
And I scrubbed the hell out of my arm too- Should have used a brillo pad!!!
(His wing coming up and touching my arm as I had him in the tongs).
If it wasn't for Punk I swear I would have found a hotel.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteFunny man!
(I really did laugh at your comment)!
ReplyDeleteYeah- well try to duck with a bad back! hehehe (Now that might be worth rolling the tapes back for).
I think she could have passed breakfast this morning after all the treats my shaky hand gave to her. hehehe
ReplyDeleteSo this morning Punk sees a wee moth on the wall, and takes to barking, quite ferociously, at it... It was on the wall above all of my pictures, and I thought for a moment she was going to run straight up the wall for it too.
I hit it with the swatter ---- and she ate it! hehehe
She then turned around and looked for another too, she did!!!
Weird dog.
Gotta love her!
Sorry to ask you this.
ReplyDeleteA good bat is hard to come by so what was the score? lol
ReplyDelete1 assist by the table leg,
... and one rbi for Punk!
I like Bats
ReplyDeleteThe girls get to lift their skirts over their heads and run.
It's the only time we males feel in control. lol
Well the Bats follow them.
Dang...I missed the excitement!! Thats what I get for (trying) to go to bed early..lol Glad Punk was there to save the day...I'm like you..if she hadn't been there the BAT could have had the house..I was that way about a snake I found in my kitchen once.
ReplyDeleteI have Valium...but it would take me a while to get there..lol
Hope you find how it got in and can fix it where it doesn't get in again.
I wish I would have missed it all. I really do.
ReplyDeleteI got more gooseflesh as I was telling Kelli of it this morning...
Get in the car.
Drive north on 41
Now!
XOXO
Me
And don't forget the Valium...
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility of two things.
The first would be under the screen door down in the entrance. There is a wee crack at the bottom of the door.
But if he came in that way he would have had to have been knocked down first. (Sputty might have done that as he was outside at the time...
Damn cat.
OR,
He might have gotten in over the window air conditioner.
I will be putting some insulation there shortly.
XOXO
Me
OR,
ReplyDeleteHe might have gotten in over the window air conditioner.
Is this a paradox or real life I ask?
Because it caused your stress it has to be masculine???
I bet it was a Batess. lol
but having the bat inside means you would not have bugs....
ReplyDeleteweirdo. turn off all the lights, open the back door and turn on the outside lights. the bat will see the bugs outside and go without the need for tongs.
poor little bat you probably scared four years off its life.
*snerk*
ditto.
ReplyDeletein through the attic?
ReplyDeletedeeannes
ReplyDeleteI hope you are of the feminine variety? lol
hahahaha....
ReplyDeleteI am female but farmgirl not girly girl so depending on the real question.......
I'm knocked for six. lol
ReplyDeleteCricket, a game we play in England ,the founder of tea bags. lol
Bye for now, I'm being summoned.
She snared me in 1944. lol
Indian, the founders of tea...
ReplyDeletehehehhehe
ROTFLMAO!!! :D OMFG! LOLOLOLOL anyone HUNGRY? LOL sorry, but this just made me laugh out loud, cuz I know I would have been screaming and scared too and the use of the weiner tongs hahahahahahahahhahhahaaa!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThat had to be an AWFUL experience!!! I do have to laugh at your escape to the bathroom... You told me the whole story, and hearing it in person is WAY more awful than just this little blerp...
You had told me how you crawled to the bathroom, saw that the phone was in there, and thanked God... Then cursed as you realized you were online, and you have dial-up so the phone was useless... So you crouched in the corner and stayed there until the commotion was over with in the living room...
It's a good thing the little fooker didn't scare you enough to induce a heart attack! I would've been the one to find you... Crouched in the bathroom... A few feet away from the phone... I would've thought that something terrible went wrong and you had to crawl just to get to the phone, but didn't make it! Punk probably would've at the darn bat by then, so I wouldn't have ever known it was that little s**t that led you into the bathroom to begin with!!! So glad that didn't happen, and when you suggested all that would've come about had you expired in that position, we had quite a laugh!!!
I think this is what they call a "morbid" sense of humor! LOL!
So glad you ended up getting it out of the house... If it was me, I would've grabbed my 20 gauge... It would've been dead, but then again, so would your living room ceiling... I don't hunt birds, so those are slugs in there... I probably would've hit the waterbed upstairs and your living room would also be flooded... BUT the bat would've been taken care of! LOL!
Glad y'all made it out OK!!
YAY for Punkie!!! And weiner tongs!
Love you MUCH MUCH!
~Casey
Too funny! But a fair question too- Guess I always call what I don't know, a "he"- For instance all of my children we 'he's' before I saw what childbirth did to them... Blew those males parts away...
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly I did not seek out inspection of its appendages (or lack of them).
(S)He was completely black though, and I have NEVER seen a black bat. Black as night too. None of this "little brown bat" that we see around...
Will have to go look it up now!
XOXO
Me
Punk takes care of the bugs Sweet Pea- and the ones that she will not bother with Sputnik gets...
ReplyDeleteI do not need a bat for bugs...
While I was on the bathroom floor I thought, Gee I would go out there and open the windows in the living room and he would go right out.
(then I remembered myself and realized there was NO FOOKIN' WAY in hell I was going back out)!!!
hehehe
XOXO
Me
PS
Unless 'tonged', just how long do bats live anyway?
ReplyDeleteEven if he did get IN through the attic, how did he get from there to living space?
Wiat a dang minute---
ReplyDeleteI am also my fathers daughter- farmgirl and tomboy all rolled into one.
But I am not a girly girl.
Unless it's 2 in the morning, with a bat flying around my living room...
XOXO
Me
Sheesh Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteOne does not eat bats.
Furthermore, one does not laugh at a cripple.
(OK, you can- --- just don't be telling anyone about it)...
I will laugh the loudest as you move into your new place and have that screen door open just 1/100th of a second too long!
hahahahahahahahhahhahaaa then- and I'll raise you 100 hahahahahahahahhahhahaaa's.
hehehe
XOXO
Me
PS
The wiener tongs?
I had no idea what I would pick it up with once the dog knocked it down. So whilst I cringed on the bathroom floor they came to mind.
Oh- They got thrown out the back door too.
Once rescued (after daylight came), they have been soaking in bleach ever since. (And I still don't know if I will keep them)!
ReplyDeleteThis little blerp was all I could manage as I was shaking too badly to actually type anything more. (And God knows how often I hit the backspace key just for those short sentences above)!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that my hands and arms were over my head...
hehehe I really was this little fetal ball on the grout of the bathroom...
Whenever I croak, Casey, know that I went smiling. No matter what.
The noise from the .20 gauge could have been no worse than the noise of my furniture being rearranged in the middle of the night, and not by my hand or plan! hehehe
ReplyDeleteThat's all I heard before the screech was the occasional clunk of things going bump (and thump) in the night.
I have since righted it all.
Punk is ever vigilant for more fun...
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteTrue.
That is so true!
I love you more.
XOXO
Mama D.
BWWKK! Chicken,,,,
ReplyDeleteYou are silly..... always open the windows then run
bad luck?
ReplyDeletegirly....
ReplyDeletebats are tasty...
ReplyDeleteyanno the water bed blast would have drowned it....
ReplyDeleteDear Sweet Anne, no one has mentioned being bitten by a bat and my daughter, Rachelle, came out of her house one night and there were bats flying around. She was running for her car
ReplyDeletewhen one of them came down and bite her twice on the neck and once on her arm! It really did a job on her and it was very painful.
I am glad that you didn't get bit by the blasted thing and I'm grateful to Punk for saving the day/night!
I can just imagine how you must of felt because I am the same way around snakes!
I will answer your pm tomorow. I have been incredibly lazy! Not good at all. lol
Bev xo
Sheesh- But can you believe I wasn't thinking clearly while this was going on?!
ReplyDeletehehehe
ReplyDeleteMine?
His?
Both?
ReplyDeleteYup.
Me and the dog too.
Sweet Bev-
ReplyDeleteDid she at least catch it or something? Did she have to go through the rabies shots?
Oh my! I am sorry for this all- How awful!
At least if it had been a snake it would be much easier to get!
Not so with some crazy bat who got stuck somewhere he didn't want to be, nor was he wanted!
Casey said they feel your fear too and would attack if/when they feel threatened.
Maybe he just thought it was funny because he didn't go after me. (Not sure about the dog, though she has had her shots).
XOXO
Me
I don't see you as the type of person that would react that way Anna, I see you as level headed straight shooting Annie,
ReplyDeletepow, pow take that Batman ( Blowing end of Pistol )
yeah, that...You really think that bat was havin a good night?
ReplyDeletehe went home all....hunney you aint gonna believe the shit night I had...
To be honest, I didn't think I was that kind of person either.
ReplyDeleteTrue, that.
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteROTF!!!!
hehehehehehe.....
ReplyDeleteLOL, well you had them in the tongs ready to put it in a bun or something! hahahaha! too funny!
ReplyDeleteI am sure since they've soaked in bleach water they should be fine to use again. Sorry I laughed at ya, but ya know, if I had been there we two would have been laughing I am sure!!! Screaming first, then laughing hysterically! LOL :D
Dang! I sure hope Punk didn't get bitten in the process. But I just knew she would be there to come to the rescue of her human mommy. She's such a loyal daughter. I mean dog. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way.....my daughters dog is a black lab. His name is Biscut. I look into his face and can almost see the face of Punk. Just a different color.
I can't remember if Rachelle had shots after that or not. The bat wasn't threatened, it was outside and Rachelle was going to her car. She never went after it or anything and she
ReplyDeletecouldn't catch it after. It kept coming after her!! YIKES!
hehehe You did make me "snert" when I read that!
ReplyDeleteStill laughing!
I scrubbed those tongs (and the rust off of them too).
They are bright, shiny and clean.
I still do not know if I will ever use them again either. ????
ReplyDeleteI saw no blood, either on the fooking bat, nor on the dog-
(Besides, she has had all of her shots, so a bat bite would be irrelevant without open bloodied skin).
Boy! She IS good!!!
Will Biscuit get a bat?
hehehe
That is just SO creepy!
ReplyDeleteThank God she's ok, all in all.
I hate bats! They fly around our yardlight eating bugs every night...they are one of natures ugliest creatures...that's for sure! I got to admit...you are brave!...lol I remember we had one at work once and all the women went screaming on the other side of the building! I finally killed him with a broom...hit it as it swooped by like a baseball player at bat!...lol
ReplyDeleteThey don't bother me outside- Not one teeny tiny bit- And they are actually fun to watch as they eat.
ReplyDeleteI even can watch as they crawl out from behind the 2 chimneys-
But put one IN MY DAMNED HOUSE at 2 in the morning and I have learned that I remain singularly unimpressed!!!
("Unimpressed" hell, -he scared the beejeezus out of me)!!!
How the heck brave am I when all I could envision was him thinking he had found a hiding place between my baby dolls and my brace?!
Mama would kill them also...
But you are not to do that anymore- Most are on the endangered lists because of their noses having some fungus.
This one was just plain nosy.
hehehe
Poor baby to you both. The poor confused bat and Poor scared Annie. I find bats fascinating. My former SIL is just as terrified of them in the house as you are. Only I think her fear extends outside too. Glad you're (basically) ok dear Annie.
ReplyDeleteOXOX,
