Muffet has graced these pages before… this time he’s enjoying the weather inside by the fire.

Someone waits for me to get home, no matter how late. He’s in the shadows at the bottom of the picture…
Not sure what he’ll do when it starts snowing!
Muffet is perched on the big granite boulder in front of the house. Across the street, a chipmunk is squeaking. Muffet is poised to investigate (stupid chipmunk better not end up dead in my living room tonight).
When I put this blog up, I did NOT expect it to end up being the New England Nature Channel… but when Muffet gave us a full grown live Pygmy Shrew yesterday, I could not resist posting a little video. Enjoy. Best part comes at about 1:15.
The Pygmy Shrew is the second smallest mammal, just larger than a breed of bat. It’s bite is not that painful, like a tiny pin prick (I now know this personally). It eats its weight in bugs each day.
But poor little one that just wanted a meal."
