Ick!

Something in my apartment is creating an unfortunate smell!  I don't know if it's my neighbor's cooking, or something the cats did, but I'm not finding anything that is causing the reek.  Ick!  And since I'm working, I can't really do a more thorough search. 

*Shudder*

In other news, it finally stopped snowing!  The roads are horrible.  They closed the work site down yesterday at 4pm, but because I'm working from home I got to work my full shift, so I didn't miss any hours.  I think we got about  5 inches, which is practically unheard of, especially for this time of year!

I had to call the Humane Society today.  It's about 12F (-11C) and there were two dogs who have been practically living in one of my neighbor's cars.  It was bad enough when it was 60F out, but now that it's below freezing?  I really worry they won't  make it through the night.  So I talked to my apartment manager, and called the Humane Society, and they are sending a police officer over tomorrow to talk to the people.  The manager talked to the woman, and a few hours ago I saw the car with the dogs drive away and it hasn't returned, so we'll see what happens. I just don't understand how people can be so cruel! 

But I'm all warm in the apartment, and the cats are snuggled in their beds, so everything, apart from the damn smell, is going good.  How is everyone else doing?

It's "only" - 3-4 C here, but it's windy so in effective degrees it's probably -10. We're going to get snow this week but as of now it's juist a bit of ice here and there and not really any snow. Good call on the dogs. :)

Brr! It's really the wind that makes things so cold, too. Stay warm!

You may have saved those dogs' lives. It would break my heart to know that any doggies were cold and alone in that car.

*hugs you and pets kitties*

*Hugs you back*

It was so sad to see the poor things. The car hasn't been back, so I can only hope they have been dropped off in a home.

might the smell be an expired mouse? Does one of the kitties have a smug look? :) And well done with the dogs.

Thanks! I have searched the flat, and the smell mostly has gone away. I don't think it was the cats, as they have the hunting instinct of a butterfly. Sheesh.
