Say hello to Howie and Sammy! The foster brothers have been bonding really well, and Sammy has clearly benefited from Mom’s nursing. Mom however, is a little…. strange. Last night, she mysteriously went nuts and started running frantically in circles inside the cage. In fact, when the top was opened, she gained enough centrifugal momentum to spin out of the bin. We spent a good hour (with Thu laughing in the background) trying to catch her without being bitten by the crazed rat. But once we got her back into the bin, she calmed down pretty quickly and started grooming the pups again, despite their squeaky protests. Now, with Melody getting the next three days off and my boss in London, we’ll be looking forward to a more laid back Labor Day weekend.
