Tragedy......
Yesterday baby Nemo died. He was 10 days old and just started to have fuzz on him. He will always be remembered by the Browns. A funeral was held yeasterday before dinner. Also, another fish died who's name is unknown. We are now down to 2 fish and 3 rabbits, since Brownie was a boy and had to find a new home. Thru the greving process we colored more pictures and watched more Chip and Dale episodes, and ate more ice cream than anyone ever should in one day. In other news about the family, Margret and Sarah got fillings at the dentist and had happy gas....fun day.

Of Pests and Piles
Yesterday was just like any other day at the Brown's, only this time with some unwanted visitors.
I had noticed a few days ago that the house was becoming an ant hill and cockroach haven and that something needed to be done. Most of the problem is due to the fact that no one (apparently) knows the meaning of cleaning up after ones self, or no one wants to admit that they left the bread on the counter that is now covered in little sugar ants. The other reason for this terrible insect invasion is the Rabbit farm located right next to the house, not to mention the piles of dog poop left in the history room by Flaco. Armed with a bottle of pest control I began to look for the breeding places of these various unwelcome guests. I hit the jack pot out side, in the Rabbit food container(a 10 gallon mental can with a lid), which someone,who will go unnamed, left open sometime in the last week. Rabbit food, mixed with rain water, which then starts to mold is the perfect spot for ants,termites,cockroaches, and maggots, it also emits a smell that is liable to make you throw up. Lillian, my faithful companion, who always helps me dealing with the gross things in life came out to be my moral support and the hose holder in cleaning out the sickening can. 2 cups of bleach, muddy feet and gallons of water later the container was clean a insect free!
