You know how when you move into a new house you have to get use to the new noises? The rain hitting the skylight, the house settling during the night, the fire station down the road and the large creature swimming in the drainage runoff at 5 a.m. Wait… what?!?
Houston, we have a problem. Zoey, our queen of bad timing when it comes to getting sick, has been puking in the middle of the night/wee hours of the morning. At 5 a.m., just as the sun was coming up, Zoey needed to go outside. B and I followed her out to make sure she was ok. While standing on our screened in porch, we heard a distinct noise. Like someone was swimming or paddling a small boat. Behind our house we have a drainage runoff and with all the rain yesterday it has turned into quite the little pond. At first I thought Servo had found the hole in the fence and was back there playing in the water. I got a little worried when I realized he was standing beside me. The pond area isn’t very accessible or visible to the average passerby. And I can’t really imagine anyone swimming or boating back there even if they knew the area existed. Besides, who is up at 5 a.m. for a little pond swimming?
So this leaves wildlife. Or The Blob. Do crocodiles live in Oklahoma? Of course B and I were in our pajamas and neither one of us wanted to leave the porch to look over the fence. What’s that saying, let sleeping dogs lie? Or maybe let swimming crocs swim.
I am scared. Honey, can we move?
I say we hunt us some crocs! You wanted new boots right?
I hope that’s not why the previous owners moved! Maybe there was something they forgot to mention before closing…
Ooh, creepy!
Hope everything ELSE about the new house is wonderful!
Sounds like you’re stuck in a horror flick! If my movies studies have taught me anything, this seems like a precursor. I would expect a volcano to be created nearby or possibly some drilling has woken up a giant Godzilla-like monster. The safest bet for survival is to develop an interesting plot-line for yourselves, and whatever you do don’t go to sleep; that’s a sure fire bet for tragedy.
You guys are not helping.
Ok you are freaking me out…maybe it’s a duck?
Time to get some night vision for that camera!
[...] no, it is my life and bugs are just invading it! Remember when I told you I think we have a crocodile living behind our house? Well forget about that, we have bigger problems [...]
