I should have named him Killer. Twice now he’s tried to take me out in the past week.
The first time, well, my fault for not watching him every second when I put paper in his cage. He jumped out at me and landed on the floor. He missed me by a few inches. I keep a towel handy for those times I need to handle him. He stepped up on my hand from where he was on the floor, bit down on my hand and went into his house. No marks on my hand and no blood = success.
OK, so that was not so bad, but this morning! Whoa! He would have left scars if not for the bars between us. It’s probably hormones, but all I was doing was removing his veggie and fruit bowl. He was really, really mad. I don’t know what I did to set him off. Maybe it was because today is Friday the 13th. Yeah, that sounds good.
This is not his angry face. This is his LEAVE ME ALONE face.
Consequenty, we just had our gotcha date. Sixteen years. Sixteen long, long years.
