Apples are dangerous at this time of year.They fall from the sky, you know. It can be a bit dodgy if I happen to be hopping along in the garden minding my own business looking for dandelion leaves or squashed plums. Don't they know I'm a ground animal and never potter about with my head in the air expecting apples to drop in unannounced? Why should I? They should have more consideration for folk like me. It's much safer in the house in Autumn. I can climb onto the back of the sofa and stay one step ahead of things like apples while I'm mountaineering. That way I can make sure they stay firmly in their fruit bowl.
Mind you, damsons can be a bit unpredictable as well. I was quietly dozing in one of my boxes listening to them drip through thier muslin cradle over the sink ready to make damson jelly when suddenly they took off, flew through the air and splattered everything. The mush hit the walls, the floor and my boxes. It smothered M who was getting jam jars ready and oozed its way down the sides of the cupboards. It's no good telling humans about the dangers of fruit.
They have to find these things out for themselves.
Chicken Licken knew what he was talking about.

My garden rabbits - not the ones I have eaten - eat bits of apple when they can get it. The muntjac deer that lives in the waste near the garden eats them even more enthusiastically.
I am too small to eat muntjac.

Never fear Harvey,
I put a load of moth eaten rats out for their shepherds pie and hid myself quite well actually.
It was all their fault. I was trying to eat my way back in to my den they keep moving the doorway and forgetting to put wood down for me to naw on.
It was a cheap nasty bit of carpet anyway( not THAT cheap Lennie )as I was saying it was a nasty cheap cheap bit of carpet.
I like things the same and like you Harvey I do not like my daily pattern altered.
I like your mountainhearing pic. I might try that. Treats are scarce at present could you send me a emergency food parcel please. I am learning what No means. I think I get it....Just lose myself in enthusiasm
Love Lennie I am 2 soon =:-)
