A Russian Raggy Rat for Me?

Round the Rugged Rocks

the Rascally, Russian Raggy Rat Ran

to the House

of the Country Mouse

But she wasn't home.

Luckily, the Rat's old chum, Mr. Hamster was sitting house for the mouse.

Kiss, kiss. A warm welcome my friend.

Can you join me for dinner? I'll set another place.

Oh, what a marvelous hat, Rat. May I try it on?

This lamb smells divine. When do we eat?

The two old friends reminisced about old times back in Dorset at the house of Cat while enjoying the southern California sunshine. . .

Many thanks to Cat (aka The Raggy Rat) for the wonderful Russian Christmas Rat.
