Fat, Furry Dormice for the Weekend...

I HAVEN'T BEEN BY LATELY because I've been too busy composing my work of Great Literature..! Which is not a memoir. And not about drugs in any way... (Wow!) It's a children's book. More details (if) and when it's finished...




Anyway here's some little furry animals for Furry Friday on Saturday...


A fat dormouse...
(Latin name: Glis glis.)
... Also named the edible dormouse, as the Romans originally imported them to the British isles as a tasty rodent snack!
This one looks more like an American grey squirrel...


A common or hazel dormouse... isn't he cute!!
This is the only dormouse species indiginous to the UK...


... with big glittery black beady eyes!


And quite tame!


... when winter comes he gets very sleepy indeed!
(The name comes from the French dormir, to sleep... il dort...


... WISHING Y'ALL A VERY FURRY WEEKEND INDEED!
