 Important critter news!*   

With photos!

* And two guest posts in a row.  This has never happened before.  But I didn't get Jodi's email till after I'd gone to bed last night. ^  However it couldn't come at a better moment as, as a result of not writing a post tonight, I have successfully slopped, thrashed and struggled through the sucking bog that opened out before me and PEGASUS yesterday, and tomorrow—I hope—it and I are back on firm ground again.^^  Thank you, fate...
