Ptttpppptttt!!!!

Yesterday WAS a good day....till 1600. Even with a touch of Bronchitis, I got most of the yard mowed and the main raised bed Manured and ready for Planting. I went into the kitchen, looking for dinner-type stuff when I hear a horrid Screech. It's coming from the garbage! Stormy, who apparently thinks he's at least 1/2 dog had pushed the rocker-top over and climbed in. Removing the lid, I find a hysterical bird. That AM I'd noticed that one of the sticky traps had caught a mouse and I'd thrown it away. Stormy's leg was stuck to it. He's flipping out, flipping around the trap with the dead mouse. Boo-Boo knows something's Wrong with his "little Buddy" and is barking hysterically. I get bitten a number of times. I finally get it off(Canola Oil, which got the glue but made him a bit "Exon Valdez"). I'm a bit worried about at least one of the toes but after about an hr he was back to normal, even weight-bearing. We'll see how he is when I get him up at 0800...
One "Good Thing" about being Poor. I bought the cheap sticky traps instead of the more expensive that also have chem infused....
And to add to all the "fun", my overdoing it has lead to a full blown Flu.....
