New Friend

[poliphilo]

Marlowe is moving up in the world. Before yesterday all he'd ever brought home were shrews. But yesterday I cornered his latest friend behind the TV and it turned out to be a field vole- and voles are bigger and fatter than shrews. He didn't seem to have done it any serious damage- so I bundled it up in a shawl and released it into the long grass.

I've read that moles taste nasty. Maybe shrews do too.

Marlowe never seems to want to eat his friends- just play with them. Sometimes, if the game goes on long enough, they wind up dead.
