The dog and the squatter

[Mandylicious]

The past couple of days my Dalmation bitch has been showing great interest in our utility room. I assumed she had detected a wee mouse taking cover from all the rain but when I came home fromwork today I found some boxes on the floor that are kept in an old shower cubicle. After locking a very unhappy dog in the house I investigated and found this little chap

He appears to be quiet young and not all afraid. I gave him some cat food and milk that soon disappeared After drawing blanks with phone calls to various organisations I remembered our local character who keeps all sorts of animals. Those of you who listen to Gerry Anderson on Radio Ulster will know who I mean Off I went to his house and he said he would take it. Back home again to catch him and then back to his new home

BTW I still managed to have HWMBO's dinner ready on time

Would not be much eating in one of them, you'd need a pair (brace?)...

I should hope so too

Albino polecat ...

... and quite likely to be captive bred and therefore used to handling; but I'd use big gloves anyway

your zoo's growing then

Most definitely an escapee. Unlike the UK, Polecat is not a native species in Ireland - the only members of that family that are native are Stoat and Pine Marten (and Badger and Otter).

Someone has lost one....

Yeah a ferret. I think my dog would have made sort work of him if he'd stayed any longer

Never thought of that
