Tiger on the loose!

Warning: the photographs in this post could be frightening to adults and children alike. Please proceed with caution.

I hate to be the cause of undue alarm, but I do want everyone to take proper precaution. See, this Saturday, a WILD TIGER was seen in our neighborhood. In front of our house, actually. I came into contact with said tiger, made friends with him actually, but then I learned afterward that he was ON THE LOOSE and INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. The photos really tell the story best:

After copious amounts of internet research, I learned that this is one of the positions a tiger gets into when he is preparing for attack. Thank GOD no one was hurt.

Bearing his ferocious fang(s)..

He asked me to help him find something sweet to eat. I knew that the Charleston Public Library was hosting an afternoon of trick-or-treating, so, figuring they'd have candy, I took him there. He blended right in with all of the other kids who were in costume for Halloween. Everyone just thought he was "dressed up" like a tiger. Riiiight.

I know, I know, I know. I can't believe I was this close to him and that I got away unscathed. He seemed so sweet.

Done trick-or-treating.

Anyway, if anyone else should encounter him, just try to stay calm. And then give him your car keys and sunglasses. Worked like a charm for me.
