Welcome wilma, you have glorious master. your picture really beautiful, cause of you and yoir master shots.
really happy to find a new family. when I was a kid I had a beautiful dog. in the village we use dogs for various purposes including house keeping and hunting mice or civets. we dug a mouse hole in the rice paddock while the dog waited in another hole that was the path of the rat. With the help of dogs, rats were captured and collected. he did not eat the captured rats. he just bites and turns it off and we collect it. thanks to the dog we can control the mice and the rice is not too damaged by the rat pest.
so, welcome new family members at home. hopefully expensive price will be paid with longing for wilma.
About your science blog i pray you will write again.
