Really, it’s the only way they’ll learn.

1. Can speak
2. Has magical powers or, perhaps, access to a portal to another dimension of wonder and whimsy.

I am SURE that Kate would approve of this strategy.

Based on the That-Tall-Guy-With-The-Camera-Is-Interrupting-My-Nap-And-It’s-Irritating-Me look he gave you, pretty sure I know which one of you was more scared.

While I am an animal lover, I am also a lover of keeping my child disease free. I vote for hiring the outside hit man. And when that guy shows up – we’re gonna need more video.

You know, in that case, might as well let him take over the guest room, and make sure you by him the *right* kind of chips next time: BBQ and wavy, you prick!

And good point Alafair. I should say that as an animal lover myself I was being figurative when I mentioned killing him. Of course when I said “kill him,” I only meant “POISON him.”

Kidding!! I like the “leave him be” option (my natural inclination).

Though, it’s true, I’ve been attempting to discern whether the little fellow is suffering or not (he doesn’t appear to be in the video). Disease levels are unknown. And following the most common offline suggestion so far (calling animal control) will be, it must be acknowledged, not unlike hiring a hit man from outside the organization.

On the other hand, I will feel very stupid if a school nurse calls to tell me one of my children has rabies.

Deliberations continue. . . .
