No, not a rat nor a gnat. We had my honey guess what was in the pool yesterday.
Yes, it was a normal day. Tatum and I get in the pool around 3:30 pm every day for a short swim. I’m paddling along and I see a black blob. I take a closer look, and it is not a leaf nor a rock. Nor a mouse or a rat. Nope.
It has wings. WHAT!? This winged little critter happens to be a bbbb….at. Tatum immediately hops out of the pool and tells me to get out now. I tell her he is dead, and she reaches for my phone to gather evidence.

Oh, my. He is creepy.
Let’s get a closer look.

Doug NEVER guess a bat, so thankfully he found him in the skimmer basket all shrivelly. EWWW>>
Glad we don’t have to become the bat cave. Who’da thunk?
