So it was a nice weekend and the wife and I get out and work on the property Saturday and Sunday. The wife's cleaning all the debri out of her garden and calls me over and tells me there's a dead smell coming from under the porch. I looked and did'nt see anything immediate so I told her it might be a dead mouse or something.
Monday morning she gets up and starts the coffee while I take my shower and get ready for work. She comes upstairs and tells me she can smell something dead in the kitchen. Well I went outside and the smell was a lot worse. So I go to work and came home about 5 and pull about four of the boards off the porch to have a look (the smell by then is really bad). My wife gets home about this time and sees me looking under the porch. With her weak stomach she did not offer any help other than stand there disgusted holding her nose. Again I didn't see anything so I change clothes and get a flashlight and start crawling GI Joe style under this huge porch looking for whatever it is.
I crawled all the way under and around the house on belly and elbow in this tight crawl space without seeing anything except spider webs and the occasional bug. I turned around and headed back to the opening only to see a huge fly land just inside. I followed the fly to the corner of the porch just inside the opening and there it was a huge dead black cat. I couldn't reach the cat so I told the wife to get me a hoe. She brings me the hoe and I can barely snag the putrid animal with it. I finally snag it and slowly drag it's maggot infested body to the opening of the porch while on belly and elbows. I pull it close to the opening and then got a big whiff of death.......I started gagging and couldn't stop. This sent my wife into a post haste beeline into the house. I called to her asking her to bring me a trash bag so that I can bury this wretched animal. I bagged the animal while holding my breath for what seemed to be several minutes then carried it out back and buried it.
The End............:(
