Default I think I've been made an offer I shouldn't refuse

And I think I should be afraid, very afraid.

I've just looked down by my foot...

and there is the head of a mouse next to the little toe of my right foot.
Nothing else of said rodent, just the head.

I feel the growing need to make a call via the great white telephone in the
bathroom ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Don't just be very, very afraid, Helen: be absolutely terrified!

Today it's a mouse's head,
Tomorrow a squirrel's,
Next a dog's
Then a horse's,
Penultimately an elk's,
Finally an elephant's.

Your masters' hunting prowess is growing exponentially.

Better mouseproof your dwelling.


You cannot mouseproof your dwellings if your cats are allowed to go in and
out by a cat door, or like mine, have a slightly open back door 24/7.
The cats will catch a mouse outside and bring it in for their meowmie's
delectation. Sometimes they can't resist eating most of it and just leave a
head as a token offering.
I've stepped on a mouse's head on the kitchen carpet when I got up in the
morning more than once. I have found the kitchen full of feathers too on
even more occasions, and a collared dove half eaten on the rug in front of
the fire. That's Kitty FC. She likes to eat those more than anything. She
will always finish it all up. In one way I don't like her to catch birds,
but in another way if she eats them and doesn't just kill them and leave
them, it seems better.
She will particularly do this if she disapproves of the latest flavour tin
of food I got her.
Someone's else's cat learned from her emails, if I remember correctly, was
it Adrian's cat, Bagheera? I think so.
In America, I understand collared doves have to be purchased as they aren't
a native species there. My friend Bob has one, he calls his Howard. He was
a rescue as almost all his animals are. The man is soft about animals See
how stupid he is about them at:
http://www.enslavedbyducks.com/

There are so many wild CD's here I could almost fall over them. They come
to steal the poultry food.

Refuse to eat the mouse's head, I don't think you'll like it, Helen.

I really enjoyed his site! He sounds like a cool guy. I liked the line,
"Bob has done numerous radio shows. Some of them have even aired."

Also enjoyed his Technobeat site. Thanks for posting.

Bob is too modest about himself. He's very talented and is one of the most
sensitive people I've ever known. He is a chicken group member, and when my
mom died suddenly last year he mailed me every single day until my German
friend, Nüle, arrived to help (also a chicken group member.)

He was really struggling to find something to say in the end, so I got to
know all about his visit to the barber. When Nüle finally got here, I
mailed that he could stop now...

If I ever worried that Americans were all like Roz, the homophobic bigot
that I just posted you about, I only have to think about Bob, and know that
it isn't so. Bob was completely on my side. I love him to bits. If no-one
else read his site url that I posted, please do. He is a darling man who is
crazy about animals. Too crazy, probably.
He never fails to email to my rescue if I'm upset about anything to make me
feel better.

Tweed
