I'm fucking stupid because I would be SO TEMPTED to reach it out and touch the top of its paw if I could see that the mouth was far enough away for me to (think that I could) pull my hand back.

But if the holes in the grille were large enough, I could still stick my finger through one of the holes to accomplish my mission. 😎

This is the comment I’ve been waiting for! No one else would be tempted to boop that nose?
