Desert Rat

                                                            
Maisie's powers of water divination are quite special. Today we walked over land near where I was working - somewhere we'd never been before - and suddenly Maisie set off galloping like her tail was on fire. After about 500 yards she suddenly disappeared into thin air!! I was a little worried as it was basically a flat field and she shouldn't have been able to disappear, so legged it after her to see where she'd gone. I found her merrily splish-splashing around in a very small but deep (about 4') drainage hole that had been dug in the lowest point of the field. How did she know it was there?! Amazing Mouse Powers. She'd be very handy in a desert.
