A busy day

Tonight, while my captors cleaned out my cage, I was quite occupied with...

• Investigating all of my Blue-green Aspherical Lateral Locomotion device, marking my path with small pellets so that I would not get lost...


• Chewing my way out of my enclosure, and making a courageous dash past some tricky wiring into a hithertofore unexplored corner of the summer villa...


• Exploring a large ceramic indentation, complete with mysterious holes through which I could not poke my head, and an oddly familiar hempen hut through which I crawled and contorted myself...

and finally, mourning the passing of Connie, rodent companion to the Lady Mars.

God speed you. May your rest be peaceful and comforting.
