The Kingdom of Peas

Oh No, Mrs P Has Gone!

A very sad Maris here. Rat Cabin must be a wonderful place because now my lovely sister Mrs P has gone there too! She's been really unhappy since Queequeg left... always hanging her head and going off by herself instead of coming to have dinner with me. Piper has been living in Ratty Towers and Roo-Roo has been hiding in Ratty Towers' roof, so we've all been feeling lonely. I don't think Mrs P wanted to be here without lovely Queequeg, so she got herself ready, had her last chocolate star, let mom and dad give her a cuddle, and then went. I miss her big orange face so much. The den is so quiet without her.

I Don't Think It's a Rat

Maris here! We have a new friend. Dad brought him home and mom thinks he is really cute, but I have my doubts. Big Pea went and said hello and looked the newbie in his peepers, but he didn't say a word. I gave him the once over and he just sat there. Willow, who I think is a bit thick, reckons he is definitely a rat. She reckons that he is an alien rat from outer space. She tried making alien sounds... she went beep beep beep and boop, but he didn't make a sound. To me that's just plain ignorant.

Queequeg Is Good at Keeping Secrets

 

Maris here again! If we have got a secret we always tell it to Quee because she is really good at keeping them to herself. She is a really special girl, and she is so cuddly if you want someone to nap against.

Mom is working a lot so I have put in a complaint to the union because I have been getting less scritches. I played it up a bit, gave her one of my looks and batted my eyelashes. That got me a cuddle, a roll over and a tummy tickle, and a bit of doughnut! Tomorrow I am going to wiggle my ears and see if it gets me a muffin.
