Muskrat! (True Story!)

Muskrat Whiskers

Yesterday we were doing the very cute homey thing of choosing flooring from Lumber Liquidators.. and out of the blue a lady (in this very very small showroom) begins speaking very loudly into her cellphone. There is no way we could NOT hear her she was maybe 3 feet away. In a classic New Yawk accent she began to profusely apologize to someone saying.. she was wrong, it was all her fault, and from now on when she crossed the line and overstepped in her words.. "just say MUSKRAT!"

I could have died trying not to laugh. Of course we have been using this now in many combos, starting pretend fights so one of us can say "MUSKRAT!", pretending the cats are saying it.. It's good advice really. Can you keep fighting if someone says MUSKRAT? Maybe but.. thought I might use this opportunity to show this magical Peacemaker rodent, and to post perhaps the only song that has ever or will ever be written about romantic Muskrats :)

Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light
Doing the town and doing it right in the evening
It's pretty pleasing
Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land
And they shimmy... Sam is so skinny

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singing and jinging a jango
Floating like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love

Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese
Sam says to Suzie, Honey
, would you please be my Mrs.
Suzie says yes with her kisses
Now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now, anything goes as they wriggle,
Sue starts to giggle
This man is to blame for this song :)

Adorable Thingamajig Having a Wee Bath!

He's real! A Pygmy Jerboa!

A mini furball with legs, so tiny but such HUGE amounts of cuteness!

Thanks Elisabetta!

Treacle's Wild Ride

It was as if they couldn't decide what to laugh at first, the slow state of traffic that even a wee hamster was moving faster than they were, or that there was a hamster in traffic! Luckily Treacle's journey has a happy ending!

ASTONISHED drivers crawling through rush-hour traffic watched themselves being overtaken ... by a hamster in its playball.

Treacle’s tiny legs were a blur as her plastic globe travelled faster and faster.
Afraid that the little rodent would run herself to death, Nick Smith leapt from his car and snatched her from the gutter.

Now Treacle is set to be reunited with her worried owner after news of her adventure spread around Carlisle. Electrical engineer Nick, 50, from nearby Wreay, said: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing – a hamster overtaking us in its plastic ball.

“It was quite happily trundling along but getting near to the verge and I thought it might roll out into the traffic.”

Several days later Nick was contacted by a family whose daughter had put the hamster into the exercise ball while she cleaned out its cage.
Treacle had somehow been able to escape through the front door and into the road.

"Would you like to play ball?"
