Good morning beautiful Topsy. I cannot remember if I have told you little girl, but I have a filthy, thieving, greedy, cowardly odd mouse in my room, and it waited nearly two months after poor Molly crossed over the Rainbow Bridge before showing its stinking self. I have three humane traps in there, but the blasted thing will not go in them, it just slithers around, leaving its stinking mess wherever it wants… I do not know what it can be eating, as there is nothing for the scavenging thing. It is all my own fault though little girl, as Molly did try to tell me, but she waited until I had got into bed before she started meowing very loudly, and making me shout. I ordered some peppermint spray, which I hoped would do something like make it burst into flames, or melt, but it just keeps them away. I am sorry for being cruel little girl, I love all animals, but I cannot stand greedy wood-pigeons and filthy mice, who seem to think that food that is for others, is just for them, and they can take what they want. If the peppermint stuff does not work, I am going to have to buy the old fashioned ones that kill them, I cannot take much more of it little girl. I had to leave my poor Mum early again today, as my heel was hurting so much, but she is a lot better than she was. I fed George and Thomas when I got home, then got out of the way… I have a choice of food this evening, potato and leek soup, or a big bowl of noodles. The only problem is, I need to use a lot of salt with the soup, and I might choke on it. I have not choked on anything for a while, but I do not fancy doing so this evening, so it will be noodles again. Just after I had got changed and sat down, I heard that filthy odd thing slithering around, I was hoping that the peppermint thing would have driven it away by now, but no, it is still here. I love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful, brave little girl. XxX
