No echidnas today

The echidna turned up at a vet's surgery, who then rang the Zoo to come and collect it. Which they did.

I have a mix of disappointment and relief. Disappointment in that I don't get to care for this little puggle, but relief because it only weighs 35g, or about 7 Maddies. Puggles that small are notoriously hard to keep alive because at that age they're not much more than a tiny bag of hairless skin with claws poking from four lumps at each corner and a snout. The puggle is getting the best possible care it can get. The zoo knows that if they can't look after it, I'll do it.

So no puggles today.

Oh, well, probably best for the poor little puggle...

I'm sure that the Rampaging Puggles will tour your area again someday, though!

I hope so. I like Punk Rock.
