I'm sorry your having such a bad day, but I have a story similar to yours.

When Muffin was a puppy, we let her in the house. Well, she had a rat hanging out of her mouth. I was asleep and all I could hear is my parents are saying theres a rat theres a rat.. I jump up out of my bed because I thought she jumped on the bed with a dead rat.. I was screaming and running and stuff. Come to find out she ran under the bed with the rat. It was so disgusting.

I found a tick on me other day too. It was already embedded in me. It was gross.
