A new Vallentyne landed in our house this week.\u00c2\u00a0 There was much discussion beforehand and many rules were established.\u00c2\u00a0 In the end a quick allowance advance was required.\u00c2\u00a0 Wednesday night Happy Vallentyne landed at our place.\u00c2\u00a0 What he is I won’t say until I can get a picture up here (many have been taken, I’m just at work and don’t have any at the moment).<\/p>\n

One story I will share that won’t spoil the surprise.\u00c2\u00a0 Needless to say Harvey has taken a keen interest in the addition of another creature to the household.\u00c2\u00a0 A greatly heightened level of attention, you could say.\u00c2\u00a0 There have been lots of Harvey tongue baths administered, and even once a half hearted attempt at a nibble.\u00c2\u00a0 Harvey was\u00c2\u00a0a\u00c2\u00a0 little embarrassed when that happened, I really think he thought no one would notice if he just tasted a tiny bite of Jordy’s new pet.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, Harvey got what he was after since Happy is quite prone to depositing samples for Harvey to check out.\u00c2\u00a0 Happy was on our bed for a minute and Harvey was sniffing and whuffing mightily to get closer to him.\u00c2\u00a0 Nature called and Happy left a present on the bed which Harvey instantly reeled in from the side of the bed with a scoop of the tongue.\u00c2\u00a0 We absolutely all started retching and were completely grossed out.\u00c2\u00a0 Harv didn’t even have the grace to look embarrassed.\u00c2\u00a0 I believe that Harvey is now convinced Happy is there purely for his enjoyment, a sort of living Pez dispenser, wonderful to smell, tastes ok, and leaves behind treats, er treats behind.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a win win win for Harvey.<\/p>\n

It’s the circle of life, people.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
