S/he may have been trying to reach the safety of the area under the heat pump -- but the dogs caught on, and "treed" it on the fence. I worried about rabies, but it seemed healthy.
I’m torn, really — are they cute, or really ugly?
Walt Kelly would have been pleased at its familiarity with the idea of a mugwump, as it demonstrates, here.
The hairless, "rat" tail is one of the least attractive features. How much cuter would it be with a furry tail?
He does have a very cute, pink nose, however. You could get used to dealing with these little guys.
