It's heavy too. I was tempted to take it off, but I was afraid they would put something worse on him.

One of my landlord's cockatoos perched on my toes.
And here he is, sitting on my lap. He's leaning against my chest, waiting for a head scratch. I was a little nervous having that beak so close. He's bitten his owner numerous times and split the length of her finger open last week.
Peeking at the camera.

First let me say this has a happy ending so no worries. 
I have a few of those humane mouse traps that you use with recycled plastic 2 liter bottles. I went to check the trap in the attic and found this:
The poor little guy had his head caught in the plastic cheese part of the trap! I was beside myself and didn't know how I was going to get him out of there (alive). I was afraid to twist it open, not knowing if his body would slide out from the bottle part. So I tried to gently break apart the plastic part but was having no luck until my son came home from work and saved the day and the mouse. Whew!

Aw, poor thing.
What did you do with the mouse, let him go free outside? Did you feed him first? Poor thing must have been starving.
I put out a small dish of water but he wasn't about to stick around. He ran off into the brush.
He wasn't in there that long. I check twice a day and he wasn't in there in the a.m. But he was definitely traumatized. Especially since we had to bang gently with a screwdriver and hammer on the piece where his head was in order to break it open to free him. I was seriously disturbed during the whole thing but relieved at the outcome.

Today I found this guy under the dogs pool when I moved it. It explains why I never see the mice anymore that used to hang out around the pool.
And then I found this little mouse just sitting in the dirt hunched over. When I touched him to see if he was alive, he tried to move away but was having trouble walking. He seems to be doing a little better now. He's moving around a little, was cleaning his face and he's nibbled a little bit of the food, so maybe he'll be okay. Hopefully he just needed a safe place to rest for awhile. He's so small, and very cute.

Conversations w/ Andy

^^It would appear Andy cared nothing about the U.S. open,you or anything else you had to say.I would have gave them to you.But I guess he wasn't in a giving mood.Some people have no appreciation for accents.Good luck with the tickets!

You must have had a few drinks yourself to get that far! (But thanks!)

Damn you, internets.
