    rats! (warning: cuteness overload)

    Using treats, photographer Ellen van Deelen trained her pet rats to pose just so:
    http://www.dagbladet.no/2009/07/24/m...usikk/7338031/
    I wonder if she trained them to actually play the instruments too, and if so, what those miniature instruments sound like . Yeah, the text is in Norwegian, but just click on the numbers under the top photo to flip your way through the slide show. The last pic is especially cute, and I love the whiskers on the saxophonist
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Looks like some of those rats were having a hard time resisting chewing on the instruments.

    And chewing on the lamb and the kitten is just... yuk! (sorry - there's been a story running around the news wires for a couple of days about a baby about 100 miles from me who may lose her foot due to rat and chihuahua bites - the parents have been arrested - who was complaining about pitbulls?).

    Now, rats chewing on Cheezus would probably get the photographer arrested in many countries.

    and it just keeps raining....

    We got another 4.3 inches of rain today....still raining, more rain in the forecast, flooding in the area of course.
    Thank goodness we have a nice new sump pump in the basement.
    It's been thunderstorms and downpours almost every day for the past 7 weeks.
    Enough already!
