I was visiting my cousin’s farm with my niece. There was a rat under one of the chicken coups (the coup was about the size of a telephone booth – remember them?). My niece was standing by the corral fence (almost 5 feet high). So my cousin and I evicted the chickens and tipped over the coup.
The rat got a 10-foot head start on one of my cousin’s dogs. It ran another 10 feet in what remained of its life. Unfortunately, rat and dog ran directly at my niece who, with a shriek that was heard two counties over and in a single bound, wound up sitting on the fence. She’s a fit woman, but I did not think she was that athletic.
The dog made a victory lap around the yard with the rat in its mouth before dropping it and rolling over it several times.
I think that’s when my niece decided that veterinary science was not what she wanted to major in at college.
