Cat brought me a new pet

[Scylla]

And he was so proud of himself! He carried in a little mouse by the scruff of the neck as if it was a kitten. What a thoughtful boy. Unfortunately, He dropped it so that I could get a full view and truly appreciate it, and it dashed behind a cabinet. I moved some furniture (owww my back!) while Ivan kept guard at the other side and, between the two of us, I managed to catch it. I put it in a mouse cage I have. I went to get water and while I was gone, it did a vanishing act. I Finally caught up with it again, and put it in yet another small animal cage. Yup, got out again. Now it's runnin' around loose in my cellar. So I put on a headlamp, leather work gloves. I'm goin' in! This little mousie is a survivor! THERE HE IS! I make a lunge! GRAB! I don't know if I have it or not, it's so small and the leather gloves are so bulky. So (duh) I open my hand to see what's there, and :::SPROING::: out it jumps! So I go after it again, I make the stretch, grab, she shoots...she scores!!! Now I don't open my hand until I have a critter keeper under it! No more cages. The little girl is now sitting in a tank happily munching away on wild bird seed. I need an aspirin. My back is killing me!

Happy Easter!!

I would have loved to have seen that. So what is the new pets name?

[Scylla]

Naming contest

I haven't named her. I'm preoccupied with back pain at the moment!! I'm sure something appropriate will come to me. I'll happily entertain any suggestions. (thinking of naming her Tylenol!)

 

[The_Phantom]

why not Tyle for short,..pronounced "Tie-la"

 

[Scylla]

I think I like that! Tyle it is!

 

[Malkavian]

I always thought "Snake Chow" was a great name for rodents

 

[Eurypterid]

Are you up to date on your Hanta virus and Bubonic plague vaccinations?
