They are boring beyond belief. I know this because some years ago my then next door neighbour and good friend had those furry things. Mainly because the kids wanted a dog or a cat but their dad wouldn't have it. So, those furry docile things one up from . . . it was. When the family went on holiday I looked after the rat pack. And I was good to them. I'd take them over to my garden in their outdoor run to eat my lawn's clover. And that's what they do. They eat. And that's about it. One day, and god knows how that happened since I do have my wits about me, on transferring them back to their weatherproof "stable", one of the little buggers escaped. If there is one rule in my life it's "stay calm when the shit hits the fan". So I did stay calm and squeezed myself (luckily I am very slender) underneath yet another neighbour's (absent) hedge to retrieve the one who had made a bid for freedom. Freedom which, of course, she'd never survived. <br /><br />I don't normally subscribe to "all is well that ends well". It's a fallacy. However, in this case I was glad I retrieved the offender. On balance I do believe my friend would have been quite glad to lose the odd one - here and there, "by accident".<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-4555845069292880912021-06-13T08:19:00.144+01:002021-06-13T08:19:00.144+01:00Very cute little chap.
