as I write this.. let it be known...
that I am yes, crying
and yes.. I am sniffling up a mad storm
as in yes..
this blog is a event that just happened moments ago
the nausea is still with me
the emotion.. will be with me for weeks maybe MONTHS!!!
Aryk was playing around with the compost bin, stirring it around etc
I was filling up a pail of dirt.. and feeding the tomato plants..
and just when I was on my way back to go grab more dirt
Aryk goes "ELUAHHHHH!!!" frightened.. grossed out.. alarmed..
like a little girl seeing a spider, or.. when you are swimming and think the seaweed rubbing against your leg is a very scary slimy unknown water creature
Aryk scampers over to me (for safety) (because I'm really tough and such)
"SOMETHING WAS ON MY LEG!!"
he goes back to look at it
a small pink baby mouse looking thing of some sort
its leg..
twitching..
Aryk informed me it had to be killed
 |
| not the dead one |
Aryk says it had to die.. for it had a huge slash on the other side of its body due to his shovelling skills.. it was the humane thing to do
sigh
pout
ahhh!!
oh :(
I am now feeling quiet and antisocial.. and of course upset.. so I bring out the laptop to blog about the upsetting experience
Aryk informs me there is another one.. and its alive
he brings it over in a shovel..
its cute.. and its breathing
Aryk has come to the conclusion due to its eyelids and nose that it is not a mouse.. but a mole.
OOOO!!!I phone the animal rehabilitation centre.. and inform them that it MIGHT POSSIBLY be a mole. obviously the guy on the phone is thrilled and very excited
off on a road trip to the animal rehabilitation centre!
turns out..
its a mouse
but still..
it was like 2 days old! what were we supposed to do?
