Last dog day

By and large I’ve enjoyed Islay’s company. The family returned in the middle of another fun neighbourly party so I left early, somewhat reluctantly with promises to return after I’d fed them. They have decided to stay the night so the party continues without me. I was delighted to find a new neighbour who shares my views on rats and we had a fascinating conversation about rats and their unfair negative narrative throughout the history of story telling. Reepicheep in PrincecCaspian is one of the few exceptions. Or was he a mouse?
