The life and death of my mouse

My much MUCH loved mouse. Oh how I loved you so..why have you forsaken me?? Why did you suddenly, after more than three years of loyal service, die on me?? why?? WHY???

This is the matching keyboard. Yes...the mouse and keyboard are a set, they share the same receiver. I'm not sure how my keyboard will do without my mouse...I guess time will tell.

This was the scene right after I cracked the mouse open. All the necessary equipment was at hand...a Swiss Army knife..screwdrivers...and of course, a can of air.

And this is what a dead mouse looks like. Like any good surgeon, I put her back together after declaring her dead, but in the end...seems she's useless. *sigh* My beloved mouse! What good times we had! What fantastic games we played! You will be missed... :'-(

Yawns can look SO devilish when captured in the moment

Pumpkin caught mid-bath (gotta love the pink tongue)

My room, the MASH unit

All the medical supplies I have in my room for the nurse to use to change the dressings on me everyday for approximately 4 weeks following my surgery. That's a lotta gauze.

Blue Mustang and a Cool Dog

I was sitting at a set of traffic lights when I noticed this blue Mustang beside me... and the sweetest dog ever, hanging his head out of the window
