Had such a, em, beautiful moment this morning that might never be erased from my mind….

My dog was pawing at the TV stand, sticking his nose under and trying to grab something with his teeth, so me, being the ever-loving doggie mom I am, stuck my hand in under there to pull his toy out for him…

only to feel something small and prickly bite my finger…

after which I pulled my hand out very quickly and in doing so, pulled out an outdoor cockroach as well…

after which I frantically Googled cockroach bites…

and discovered they happily eat human flesh…

but only if they’re starving.

Good to know! But now I’m imaging all sorts of gross things flying thorough my bloodstream, even though if they do bite you, the damage stays close to the bite.

I also took the now somewhat legless cockroach from the dog and threw it over into the neighbor’s yard. I’m a good neighbor like that.
