Lemme preface this by stating that I have a very "off color" way of handling disturbing situations.
I cried alot tonight because of my loss but there are two things thatoffer me comfort 1) Moxley didn't pass in my truck and 2) she feltcomfortable enuff to let go when she got "home" My first comfortreminds me of a story:
I have been in the auto industry for about 8-9 years now, so I hear it all....
I had a customer that spent roughly $40k on a brand new vehicle. It washis pride and joy. He decided to buy his young son a hamster as abirthday present. Well. Mr. Customer took home the hamster from the petstore in a box very much like a Chinese food container.
He drove around the Valley in his new SUV, with this critter in thebox, stopping to run a few errands. When he arrived home, he discoveredthe hamster had chewed her way through the box.
Mr. Customer could not find her anywhere in the vehicle. Two days laterand after some serious seaching to no avail, he turned on the muchneeded air conditioning (in Az you NEED it). It spit out cold air, butonly amidst a storm of insulation. He immediately turned off the airbecause of all the debris flying out. The little bugger stuck herlittle pink nose through the air vents!
The next day, his check engine lite came on. He took the SUV to thedealership, where they informed him that his electrical wiring had beengnawed at.
Daily for about two weeks, he would discover an array of damage to hisvehicle all caused by this little girl. And she'd always pop her headout to torment him right after he'd discover the damage.
It got to the point where the mechanics at the dealership would teasehim about his pleadings to help him remove the rodent from his vehicle.
Eventually and after more than $3000.00 worth of damage. Mr. Customer woke up to find this demon pet dead beside his vehicle.
Because of the tremendous cost incurred as a result of this maniacalcritter and the teasing he had endured...he had her stuffed and mountedin a grizzly bear attack position which he proudly displays at his deskat work.!
