Cheech and I are Killers

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Animals, Landscaping, Pets

Cheech has been very very busy working around the property when he isn’t sleeping. Apparently, he has one job: Killer

Cheech has been bringing home (he stashes all of his prizes in the guest bed and bath) frogs, geckos, lizards and birds on the regular basis. A few of the lizards he brought back were pretty big, maybe 8 or 10 inches long. I prefer to remove the big lizards with a bucket when I find them alive, they creep me out.

Last week, a mother bird was dive bombing us when we walked across the driveway by our African Violet tree. She had a nest on one of the branches. It started dive bombing cheech on the regular and cheech started getting little cuts on the back of his head from where the birds were sticking him. Cheech probably never would have known they were even up there if they weren’t protecting their territory so diligently. As of today, the bird is no longer dive bombing us AND we found a cleaned up a bunch of feathers three days ago. My guess is Cheech turned around and got the bird doing some sort of Judo flying 360 attack move. Poor little guy. Cheech is a killer.

There is always a new crew in the bathroom each day…This guy escaped the cat of death with a little less tail.

This guy was resting up behind the trashcan, waiting to make his break.

Yes, we clean blood off of the floor everyday. Thanks Cheech…

I am a killer because I use gas powered yard tools. Apparently, my weapon of choice is our Weed Wacker. I mean well, but I haven’t been doing so good. After mowing the entire yard (a lot of areas are still more rock than grass) I go around and weed eat around the driveway rocks and plants. The areas that usually become very overgrown always create problems for me. I don’t see a plant deep down in the Elephant Grass or I am trimming around the plant and the plastic cords catch a rock, root or branch and pull the machine right up to the plant and it gets chopped in half.

  1. The Cat, The Rat and the Aftermath | California 2 Puerto Rico Says:

    [...] This story was brought on by the fact that Cheech keeps bringing baby mice into the house, through the great room and right into the guest bathroom. He drops them and lets them run around and he chases them, swats at them and eventually kills them (if I don’t get in there and save them). I wouldn’t want to be killed by cheech, he is cold blooded ruthless murderer. [...]
