Walk like an Egyptian.. weasel

Cairo..weasel in the garbage. Why, I'd be thrilled to death to see a weasel in my garbage! Isn't that something?? Look at those feet! I had a wild adult mink once. Someone left it in a box on my step. I opened the box and LOOK OUT! Skeered me. It had been car hit, so I helped it along and then turned it loose. It never got tame and was like a Tasmanian debil. Sure was pretty though.

Awwww, adorable. I love your mink story, the part about nursing him back to health despite is devilishness.

He was something. She, I think. She had broken ribs and would have starved to death. She needed rest and food. I'd hold her back with a thick two pronged stick to change her dishes. She could eat an amazing amount of food and had two rows of needle sharp teeth that would saw through bone. About a month and she was moving good so I took the old cage out of the barn and released her by the ditch line. Boy, she bounced like a ball and then sithered through the brush like quick liquid. She never looked back. It was a good feeling to see her go. It's nice to know those animals are out there, even if you don't see them.

LOL at rat. They don't look a thing like a rat and they are the size of a large house cat.

Wow, I bet your heart was filled up when she was released. One day, I hope their is a movie about you starring you. You might laugh at me, but your life is one of the most interesting ones I have come to know. Please finish that book, get it published and then sell the movie rights. x0

I finished a story and have been sad no one commented. I need comments like a junkie needs dope. :)

I'll bet you would never turn away a wild animal you could help. I already know you that well.

Pat, I commented on the last insatallment and it went into moderation.
Please write more..!!!

Dirty Disher said...

Oh, I never realized it was on moderation! I'll go take it off.

mary_mary said...

O, you can bet your boots I would have commented. You might be a comment junkie, but we are your story installment junkies. Mommy needs a cocktail and a Pat story - PRONTO.
Please take it off moderation! Thanks!

And yah, you are spot on; I could never turn away from an animal in distress.

The more I think about it, I could never turn my back on an injured animal, but I could with some (bad) humans. I wonder if there is something wrong with me? Something missing in my human DNA?

Miss Tia said...

i think i have that same missing gene in my DNA too mary_mary! i would rush into traffic to save an animal without any hesitancy (i have before, that's how i got my late kitty Maple).....but with some humans? only my conscience would propel to take action and even then i'd probably count to 10 first....but if they had abused animals or children? nope, wouldn't lift a finger for such a person.....i might even give them a push....

RIGHT? Our broke state of California could get out of the red if they would hold an Extermination Day Lottery and get rid of all the animal and child abusers here. Winners could don the black leather mask and exterminate these scum and collect their winnings.

mary_mary said...

BTW, Tia, Maple was a very lucky kitty to have you for a mommy. That is one hell of a story.

Miss Tia said...

I'd volunteer to exterminate animal and child abusers here in ohio!! and i wanna find that asshole here in akron!!!! pay per view that shit and states would be flush with cash....

i always say 'my damn cats'....but i'd do anything for them or my dogs....

Dirty Disher said...

I cuss the cats all the time, but, I feed them and haul them to the vet. They do annoy me though.

I love my cats. I just wish they would use the bathroom outside. They run inside to use the litter box. I can truly say my cats are full of shit. And I'm the one who has to clean it. Damn those are some pooping cats.
