Wow, that's some speedy return, dabitch.

I can't get that poor hurt mouse out of my head though. I wish I could have helped it more. Little scared thing was walking in circles, with only a small red wound under left eye.

Ain't it? I kept looking around like "you've got to be kidding me" trying to find our secret santa.

are you sure it's a baby doll bathtub and has not been used as, say, a repository for other things?

Hehe, I cleaned it (paranoia) but it's practically brand new toy-tub. It's this one, but a blue one, which I figured we'd get later. So odd.

Now I don't feel paranoid enough, though... Repository for what other things, By the Grace of God? *glances at tub suspiciously*

well, could it have been used as a chamber pot or bedpan? It's about the right size..

But please don't be paranoid - I'm just cynical! If it's clean, it's clean and ready to use. Besides, real babies pee in the bath and we don't throw the bath out!

The mouse didn't make it because it was moving a doll bathtub.

I just sat here for a moment thinking, "I didn't know Dabitch lives in Africa."

And then I realized what kind of "zebra crossing" she meant.

Loiseau, I had the same reaction, only I'll do you one better; I thought she wrote "moose."

That is so crazily a mini-Christmas miracle. Wow. Except for the mouse; bummer.

Hard to tell how that balances out.

I, too, read the "zebra crossing" literally.

When our cat Kitty decided to move in with us we made an appointment to have him fixed in two days time. We went out for a walk that evening and I mentioned that we needed to purchase a cat carrier the next day so that we could ferry Kitty back and forth. We turned the next corner and headed down the ally and there sat a cat carrier on top of someone's garbage can.

An "you've got to be kidding me" moment indeed.

I can't believe Perle has gotten so big! She's so beautiful.

Thankyou deborah, she's quite the handful too. :)) Very patient though, she spotted my Xmas shopping - a huge tempting toy bag - and asked "Is that a gift?" I said..."uhm, yeah..." -"For me?"... "Uhm, yeah it's a christmas gift from grandma, actually, for you." "When is it birthday?" "It'll be Jul soon dearie, in a few days." -"Ah. I can wait." she said and returned to pretend feeding her new baby doll.

Wait, what? You can wait? What's wrong with you kid?

arse_hat , Love the universe suddenly giving you a cat carrier. This was a lot like that. There it was, perfectly fine, tub side up, on the sidewalk (a clean sidewalk) and I even felt a little theify taking it (but with the winds it would have just blown away if I hadn't).

BtGoG - nah, couldn't have been a bedpan. Useless for that.

yes, she is a gorgeous little kid and so sweet with that doll!
