The 2025 Trivial Drivel Thread

[username]

A hawk dropped a squirrel on my driveway once and the poor thing was going into what looked like convulsions. I thought about taking a shovel and ending it, but I couldn’t do it. I ended up taking the damn thing to my vet to euthanize it. He did it for free, but I would have paid.

I wouldn’t be able to do it either. A neighbor once told me her guinea pig was dying so she sped it up with a bunch of melatonin? I don’t know if I’d trust melatonin but I could see od’ing a rodent with Xanax or something (challenge being getting it in them). The vet was the right call.

Next week a rodent company is coming out to reseal under our house (they found some gaps/signs that the rats might be starting to get in) and lay traps under the house and outside. I’d rather the hawk had taken off with one.
