Hi Fugly,
You'll never guess who has just arrived in Shadow's and my pen. It was Algernon Rat. He said that he mailed himself here. Wasn't that a brave thing to do, especially as the mail service is so slow? He was very hungry. Just then our Slave came in with a bag of grass for our tea.
We told him to hide in our hay but she spotted an extra pair of eyes peeking out from the hay and we couldn't avoid him being found out.
It was OK because she loves rats and she picked him up and said " You must be Algernon! Don't you know that your mummy is dreadfully worried about you?"
She was so pleased to see him that she went straight to the computer to let Algernon's family know that he was safe.
She gave out our grass and put Algernon into Garnet's pen. His group rushed towards the grass and started eating it. Algernon told us that he did not really like grass but that the things in the bowl looked good. He was so hungry after his trip that he started eating those.
Slave came over and said that she must buy some proper rat food so she took Algernon in her car to the village pet shop. She let him choose the one that he liked and they bought a bag and brought it home.
I must say that I prefer the grass but there is no accounting for taste.
Algernon is going to stay with us for a few days and then go and visit some other piggies.
From your pal,
Roscoe Piggyfriend.
