OWL PUKE

If you ever wanted to see owl puke, here it is! Rumor is, not everyone likes to view pics through flickr, and with something this cool I had to post a few more than usual. ENJOY. I am such a procrastinator, and with so much to do around here, I thought I would spend a few hours totally engrossed in this. Just couldn't think of anything better to do, not organize pictures, clean a few rooms (I did do a little laundry) nope, nothing. Fresh out of the package. Wrapped in aluminum foil and sealed in a baggie. Very firm, the book said to soak it first to make it easier.
Always one to follow instructions, since I am older, at least. I put it in water not knowing what to expect.
Should have known, something that looks like poo when dry would look like this when wet! I am starting to regret my choice in projects about this time. That, and the thought that I will have to get it out of the water was not appealing to me.
Bravely, I fish it out. It feels soft and a little slimy and quickly falls apart. Then the smell hits me. What was I thinking!!!
This is the tray to help sort all the parts. Trying to take my mind of the smell and task at hand. I think it is really cool. I felt like a scientist, or thinking of my cousin in the lab working with different specimen.

One of the first things I see. I'm getting excited now!
I can't believe it! My owl was hungry! Not one, but two rats (mice?) Now I have been sitting here smelling that funky smell and am ready to finish this. Not one to give up so easy, I think it can't take much longer. And I really want to see what's in the other one!
Here it is, the other half! It seemed to go quicker but I realize I am in the right profession. I could NEVER sit still that long! Even if it was doing something really cool, I just don't have it in me.
Wow! I must be a little off but I have always been fascinated with bones. Must have been all those episodes of Quincy when I was growing up.
The finished product. All that is left to do is glue them on a paper, minus the hair. I will be ditching it first thing!

I hope I didn't gross anyone out with my post today. I have always said I am a little different (maybe not) and you never know what you will experience hanging out with me!

Dinner, anyone?
