Only read this if you are a good Secret Keeper. (Ashley Caruso, don't read this because you are a horrible secret keeper)

Ok. So I hope you guys are good at keeping secrets.

Last night, I may or may not have ordered this. It was free!

Don't tell Mindy.

She may or may not have gotten agitated at me last week because I insinuated that I was going to buy a squirrel pelt off Ebay.(They also sell freshly dead squirrels on Ebay too. Who knew?) I wasn't going to bring it inside and I need to start somewhere. All the taxidermy books I have been reading said that most taxidermists just start practicing with roadkill. I was trying to be a bit less gross about it. Although, to be fair, I did consider getting a squirrel off the side of the road for about 10 seconds the other day.

Also, Mindy told me we could buy Beauford.


And by 'told me that we could buy it' I mean she said we could discuss possibly getting him at a later date depending on how much he costs. Whatever. I keep calling the antique store that had him to find out how much he is, but they never answer. I am just going to have to drive all the way up there and inquire and I mean, since I will already be up there, I should probably just go ahead and get him, right?

  1. I have several friends that are into taxidermy. They love doing it and will stuff anything they can find.

  2. Oh my dear wife. Please do not bring any dead animal parts into our yard, house, or within 10 feet of our property line. I'm buying every taxidermy book you ask for. No dead animals yet. And by yet, I mean a long time from now.
    Your patient and loving wife,
    Mindy

    P.S. We can go price Beauford on my next day off. He is an awesome exception.

  3. Um, yes, Beauford needs to be yours. Or mine. One of us needs him. And you are absolutely being considerate by purchasing dead animals off of Ebay instead of bringing home road kill.

    1. I'll be sure to send you a better picture of him as soon as I get him. And I am nothing if not considerate.
