But the dust bunny thing was so cute, Kimmie I'll bet a lot of people thought it was. I had an adorable little friend from France when I was growing up. It was always so much fun teaching each other the ways of our cultures.

It sounds as if you are doing very well with the English language. French is a beautiful language.

Speaking of pets, a couple of days ago a squirrel got into the ceiling of our guest room at work. I got the maintenance man to move a ceiling tile and put a live trap inside the space of the ceiling, then put the tile back in place. The next morning I asked the housekeeper if she'd heard anything in the guest room. She said she was sure the squirrel wasn't in the trap because it was too quiet. I got a ladder and climbed up to the top and moved the ceiling tile over. Sure enough, this adorable little creature was staring back at me from the trap, so scared that his/her little lips were trembling. I got a cup of water with a straw and fed it four straws of water. It was so thirsty! In between gulps of water it would lunge at the cage and give me all kinds of sass I baby talked it and threw a bunch of peanuts into the cage, then phoned the maintenance man to come and get the cage out of the ceiling. The squirrel was a baby! It was so little and cute. When we set it free another squirrel the same size came running up to it, (probably a sibling) and sniffed it all over, as if checking to see if it was alright. Then they leapt into the air and started playing joyfully. They never did run from us. They stayed only a few feet from the kitchen door all day. It's been quite a year at work now that I think about it. I got another squirrel from the hallway into a box and set it free, caught two bats and set them free, and a bird that I'd never seen before and set it free.
