the heart of a mouse

yamamanamaWe're convinced she's wearing a shrew's jaw, because she misheard shrew or I misheard shrew.
"it's fun to picture a squirrel with canines" says Tiffany. They don't need the canines because adult squirrels actually have a pretty nasty bite.
I wouldn't recommend making ceviche or sashimi with the new fish bucket but it certainly smelled better than the previous one. It made up for the lack of smell by being so frozen I needed an icepick or a pickaxe to break off chunks of fish for the seagulls' lunch. I can't take out an individual fish and thaw that one because they're stuck together with ice. There was a head with pinkish meat, possibly a salmon's, and some remnants of the white fish in the other bucket that was really too bony, too smelly, and too deep in the bucket to be of any use. Yum yum yum. Heads have skulls inside of them and I'd need something sharp, like a lightsaber or something, to cut it into eatable chunks so fuck that. Maybe we could toss it to one of the raccoons and see what they do with it.
The seagull made some noises and Tiffany's like "it's crying. They're like kittens." and Jacob is like "kittens with wings and" something about McDonalds. "It's gonna bite you."
"Which hawk?" "Roll some dice."
A chipmunk escaped from Yaritza's grasp. Then it hid behind the hawk's cage and I told it "if you get eaten, it's your own fault."
Later, a squirrel escaped and the interns had to run around med ward with nets trying to catch him*. Meanwhile, I was outside holding two seagull lunches. I'm not sure how this happened but during rounds, Tiffany said it was one of the aggies' comeuppance for being so lax with him. It was a learning experience: he can climb vertical surfaces and leap. They can turn their ankle joints 270° and climb down face first, which is very useful if you're a squirrel.
*I say him, even though we can actually check what sex a squirrel is.
"We're feeding him whenever he chirps at us." because we have no idea how old he is. I'm not sure what species he is and we're saying him because we can't tell what sex he is by looking at him.
Sarah told about how some of the interns made peanut butter pastries with mouse heads in the middle for the raccoons to eat, and a kid saw it and he was half-shocked and half-amazed. I think the blue-haired woman is Primrose. Priti is back because nobody ever leaves the wildlife center behind.
#10 is finally leaving us. Just to put things in perspective, I've written somewhere around 125 entries since we got #10, Atlas Lab wasn't a band when we had #10. Brock Turner, unrepentant rapist, will be in and out of jail in less time than we had #10.
"if they're wondering why it's in a Meow Mix cup, it's because we're out of yogurt cups."
There was a "towel bomb" in one of the dryers. Basically, a bunch of still-wet towels in a sheet that took about 15 minutes to untie.
Burning Question: what food do you think a seagull would find disgusting, bordering on the inedible?
