Another shrew. Or maybe it was the shrew we had earlier and it never left.

Marlowe pointed it out to us. It was hiding in a pile of shoes. We started poking around and it climbed into one of my mother's Oxfords. I covered the opening with my hand, took the shoe to the bottom of the lower field (beyond the scope of Marlowe's wanderings, I think) and let the shrew loose in a woodpile.

They're protected under the 1981 Countryside Act.

Apparently cats are reluctant to eat them because they taste funny. That may explain why this one was still alive when we found it.

Maybe Marlowe knows they are protected.

Perhaps he only wants to play.
