Rodney the Musk Rat

Fury met Rodney the Short-Sighted Elderly Musk Rat a few days ago--and again this evening. I know the rat's name only because the neighbour, on whose lawn Rodney likes to sit, told me. Rodney's body is about a foot long and he has a long fat tail. His little face looks battle-worn and he doesn't walk very fast. He waddles. This evening he was sitting on the lawn right next to the edge of the road, minding his own business, like an old man leaning on his walking stick and taking in the evening air.

Fury wanted to play... I had to drag her away.
