When Jason put out the ad for a roommate, a guy answered, and Jason thought he had said he had a pet beagle. But it turns out, he had a pet eagle. Which was kind of cool because there was a big backyard that joined the woods and the eagle would catch squirrels and mice and other things. And it didn’t make too much noise, like a beagle would do. It tended to keep to itself on its perch, and it was a lot easier to clean up after. Jason considered getting a pet eagle of his own some day.
