INFESTATION

So this week we had a nest of huge horse flies hatch in our house. We have no idea where they came from but let me tell you, they are here and they are massive... I mean between the two of us we have killed 18 bugs in 2 days. They aren't your average house fly either, they have spiny backs and red eyes!! Gross. At first, I was wrangling them, and letting them out the front door. It was like getting a bird to fly out of a barn- seriously I'm not sure anyone can fully grasp the gi-norm-osity of the situation. Then they multiplied and we believe that they have been terrorizing the dog. Our lovely dog Marco has been doing weird things lately. For instance, this week, Marco will not, under any circumstances be left alone downstairs in our living room. On a typical day he usually lays on his blanket or on the couch, or lounges on the cool hard wood in the kitchen. Nope. No longer. I could not find him a couple of days ago, he was not in any of his usual spots, so I came upstairs to find that he his hiding in our bedroom closet. Bizarre. So we thought he was just under the weather - the weather has been a little strange this week and we thought maybe he was also just tired. Then we realize he can't stand the fucking, massive, bird-like flies that have infested our first floor.

See like right now, one of those things is in the other room knocking over lamps and glass ware. Where did these things come from? And why are they mutant size? We think they may bite...
