Neat, I'm gonna ruminate on this new fact
So has hoofs a chews cud. Good to know he's kosher or halal.
If there is a smol flood, the floofy poofie will stay dry.
A Dutch mouse!
I hate it when my potatoes grow legs and run away.
Are they considered primitive because they only have three legs?
What if that turns out to not be his leg?

Close relatives of the wild haggis.
They look like how I'd draw a "weird leggy mouse"
Never skip leg day.
