Well it's Monday. I think. I don't know.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

My brand new dog escaped Saturday morning. Last night at like 2am, I captured him with an ingenious mousetrap (the game) style food-baited trap on my enclosed porch. I felt so ashamed and guilty when he slipped the leash and ran off. But I wanted to tell someone about the win. I can probably post a video too if anyone is interested, because I setup an old iPhone as a motion sensing video monitor so I was alerted when to spring the trap. He’s a very good boy, he’s just not used to domesticity yet.
