Graduation Day: from Puggle School to Big School

Today I handed Rexie over to her new carer. She will be housed in a much larger cage now, one 3feet wide x 3 feet high x 10 feet long. The floor is a mix of sand, potting mix and wood chips about 6" deep. Rexie will spend her days Outside, but for a week she'll spend nights Inside. Soon she'll be outside all the time learning secret Echidna business, such as digging, hiding, and termite foraging. By mid September she will be ready to go bush.

My bathroom feels empty without the cage in the corner and there is a vacant place in the freezer where her food used to be.

The Rampaging Puggle has left the building.

Animals raised by humans *never* think they are humans.

They *know* for a fact that they are better than us, and we were only their servants while they were otherwise indisposed.

Especially lizards.
Oh no, I mean cats. So easy to confuse those two...
The rule is: one's covered in fur, the other's not.
