Most importantly I have to thank my girlfriend for standing next to the mouse. She wanted no part of it!!
Hope it does well

Wooooooo!

Thanks all for the great comments!!!
I am beyond psyched that this did so well. So Happy; I even went and became a paying member!
I seriously have to thank my girlfriend Amanda for this shot. When I came up with the idea she wanted no part of it!! After some convincing she caved, but still wasn’t too happy. As you can see from the outtake below she really did not want to be anywhere near that mouse.
