[Fleas]

You ever notice how most deadly animals just look mean? I don't expect to ever see kids running in fear from a lop-eared rabbit, but this guy could put the fear of Zeus into, well...Zeus!

These are mean looking critters and they dont mess around.. The older I get, the more careful I have to be around these babies:run:.. Got a call yesterday evening.. A rattlesnake was getting into a house.. I was 40 Miles away having dinner with my wife. She killed the rattler saying it would take too long for me to get there.. One lady in these parts a year ago got killed trying to slash one with a butcher knife
