Johnson Family Rat Daycare

Dennis Bukowski

The Johnson’s always had that weird vibe about them. The same kind of vibe a neighbor gets when they mow the yard at midnight. So did it worry the neighbors when they announced that they would be starting a business out of their own home? A simple answer to that is, yes, it did a lot.

The neighbors had had every right to be concerned, because the matter of the fact is that the Johnson’s were planning on running a rat daycare center. Yes, rats, the same animal that wiped out nearly half of the European population in 1300’s.

The Johnson’s decided that they would watch after every rat that crawled in through their door, crack, vent, etc. Job responsibilities consisted of counting and cleaning up after all 30+ free-running rodents. Definitely makes you rethink the difficulty of picking up after a dog. Business was slow at first but it caught up eventually. The only problem was that for some reason, unknown to them, no one ever seemed to want to pick up their “pet”. Hmmm…
