A Different Touch (Ouch!)

In contrast to Cary Grant's experience in the 1962 romantic comedy, A Touch of Mink, the mink pictured above is trying to touch me in the worst way.
As a high school senior, I had occasion to visit a mink farm in Wisconsin. I'm wearing multi-layer leather mittens, and he's trying to hurt me bad enough to make me drop him. There was a "Mink Dog" nearby (serves the same function as a Sheep Dog), in case the mink was successful in that endevour.

Brownbird - nowadays, the "Mink Dog" is probably a Rottweiler (to keep the PETA folks out) =:o) - May 3rd
