I am really bent out of shape over these internet problems!
Well, not exactly wireless, in fact it’s about wires, but there were two guys here yesterday and one of them, fortunately, was skinny enough and young enough (read: what else could he do–it’s a job and he’s just beginning) to crawl UNDER our house and check out the wiring for trouble since our internet was not working properly and papa wanted a cable run to MY, er, mama’s computer, so that I could, er, we could work more easily and faster without having the internet disappear into cyberspace every few hours or days or so, and NOW, one day later, our internet is as slow as the proverbial tortoise and let’s hope he wins THIS race.
Papa called our internet company and they are “watching” it for 24 hours to see “what’s up”…
And that poor kid under the house found that the wires were all EATEN BY A RAT, which is why we were not receiving our internet properly and when the kid under the house saw what had happened, he was up out of that hole he had crawled into about as quick as a kitty can pounce on a mouse..er…rat.
So you might ask yourself: What at YOU doing to help the household, Loulou, and are you AWARE that there are RATS eating the wires of YOUR computer connection and that YOU will not be able to contact your sweet blogger friends if this keeps happening.
Hey, you talkin’ to ME? Wait a minute. I have NEVER professed to be a rat catcher and let me tell you, I’m not about to begin. Have you ever SEEN the rats around here? (Actually, no, we have never seen one, none of us, but my neighbour told me he saw one once around 1987…).
Still, it only takes one gnaw-er to upset the Apple cart, haha.
Uh, oh, THEY are giving me that look. I’m outta here. Maybe I can find a Jack Russell somewhere soon to take care of this.
HEY, wait a minute. YOU ARE NOT BRINGING ANYTHING RESEMBLING THIS INTO THIS HOUSE.
Where did you say that door is to the hole down under?
aww that’s bad… not only bugs can mess up the internet connection, rats do that too… I hope there is a solution :o)
GEEZ, Loulou – you have that OHHHH NOOOO look on your face!!!!! And you can’t count on me either – can you imagine all the megabites and WiFi in that rat!? Un Rat Nucléaire!!!! He probably glows in the dark. Well, actually I might help you if he were stuffed with kibbles………or some of your Momma’s fish soup. But otherwise, no help from this terrier!!! des bises.
Oh, now that is funny. Un Rat Nucleaire! Hey, get over here and HUNT!!!
LouLou, you are too dignified to catch a rat-yuck. I am glad the problem was found.
Hey, you and me, both.
Loulou, you have yet again struck a very adorable pose. That little woofie is darn cute, but do Jack Russell terriers hunt rats or mice? Did those internet fixers reroute the wires so another (or the same) rat won’t eat them again? Hope you get things straightened out. We’d miss seeing you.

DEARS Lily Olivia, Mauricio Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo, I think they solved it…but you never know ’til the net goes out again–crossed fingers. We are thinking of putting our wires in STEEL CASINGS. Ha ha, those rats are going to need a good dentist!
Loulou, you gotta go catch that dirty rat!
I think he/she has gone to tend his/her indigestion.
A rat? We have wharf rats around here (from the mills). Big as a cat but nowhere near as cute. Hope they figure out what it is with your internet.
HEY, wait a minute. WHARF rats? Are you near water?
I hope your internet gets sorted. Ours was very slow also, and we kept losing connection so my mum changed provider and got fibre broadband. It is a bit faster but not a lot because of where we live, but at least we don’t keep losing connection now. I hope that rat has moved away now.
