    It sucked. I think I averaged about $500 a week. It's minimum wage for On Duty and minimum wage plus a dollar for driving. I had to complete 240 hours driving to test out and go solo. They dropped that to 200 hours by the time I became a trainer.

    No. We have our rituals. But it's definitely dead by the time it gets to the store.

    LOL!!!

    That reminds me of teaching our cat how to kill. I made a box trap and trapped a field mouse. Then I took the cat into the bathroom, stuffed a towel under the door (so the mouse couldn't escape), then let the mouse out of the box trap. It took about five minutes of encouraging the cat to do more than just swat at the mouse, trying to get it hyped up. Then...

    ...SUCCESS!!!

    Tiny skull bones crunching in kitty teeth.

    That cat turned into an all star mouser.

    I've watched ferals hunt. They don't play with mice or moles. It's pounced on, bit, held, down the hatch.

    And typically alligator style where the head goes in first and it kind of gets swallowed hole, tail hanging out.

    Domestics will eat hoppers, but mice and such they bring in as trophies.

    The real excitement is when they sneak a half dead water snake in the house — guaranteed to have all twelve of the girls volleyball team and the woman of the house step and fetch and hit high notes that shatter wine glasses — cat was pretty satisfied with their reaction.
