. Hopefully he’s just super excited to have toys again and can’t control his excitement. He is a young boy still. I can tell you a lot about young boys’ impulse control because, as you know, I teach them. 
Perhaps it is like when you haven’t had something you love in a long while, like..say chocolate, and you just rip into it with child-like abandon
thank you for asking!
They really do the strangest things @missy!!
At one point in our old house there were mice, and Mina was (probably still is) an exceptional mouser. She was also the smallest cat, so once she caught a mouse Garett would take it from her and claim it as his (...and usually decapitate it LOL!). And he’d guard it for hours if you let him - just growling at everyone and everything that came near.
One day the growling woke me up just after 3am. I decided, stupidly, that I’d deal with the dratted mouse later. Got up around 7, went to retrieve the mouse, found half the mouse. That decapitation bit? Found the other half downstairs. Had to call in late to a work meeting and explain that I’d been looking for a literal mouse head. #Sociocat ain’t wrong.
Went to bed early that night, asked the cats very nicely to pretty please leave anything they find whole, and woke to growls again in the middle of the night. Great. Get up, get gloves and trash bag (learnt my lesson about “worrying about it later”), and found... Gretta, not Garett, guarding a pair of bright red earmuffs like they were the most precious things in her world. And the other cats all circled around her wondering WTH was going on. No words.
Alex is doing well! I owe everyone an update and some videos! His chemo has been thoroughly uneventful, and he’s learnt to move so fluidly... you wouldn’t think a hop could ever be an elegant motion but he manages it somehow!
Oh, I won’t find out for a couple more months. I won’t have nails left to bite by then
I would sleep with a scarf around my neck @missy!
Yay for Alex doing well!!! You made my morning @yssie
And as for the decapitated mouse...
Did I ever tell you about Tommy's history? He was a mouser in the basement of the building I used to work in and he was kept under horrific conditions. When I found out about him Greg and I worked endlessly on getting him out of there. And that was a decade ago. Anyway I digress. Just wanted to say Tommy has probably decapitated a mouse or two (or a hundred) during the first 2 years of his life when he was a prisoner in that basement. Poor sweet baby. I hope he doesn't remember anything about that time. Though this current time isn't so wonderful for him or anybody right now.
Good luck and I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. You deserve to get it!
I just found it a way to undermine the local anti puppy mill efforts and people who just want a dog like any other good/item shop for one on the internet on a trendy looking web page now. Several decades of activism have not led to any real insight. People still buy their pets on a whim. Now on insta. Like a pair of shoes. No prior contact with the "breeder". No check up, no contract. Lots of stress for the puppy. Why not buy from a reputable local breeder, wait a few months if necessary? I'm obviously not talking about well informed people who search a certain blood line and kniw the breeder is legitimate
Omg! I’m going to have nightmares tonight!!!I'll never be able to unread this
