And I need some shorts for Ajijic, I said to self as I opened the closet door to get to the shorts and found myself face to face with a rodent.
It was sitting on a hanger with a shirt, and looked at me appraisingly, looked up at the shelf above and then, not at all panicky, started the ascent to the shelf, and the most extraordinary sight was revealed.
Attached to her teats were three good size babies, whose combined weight must have equaled that of the mother, and yet she dragged herself and her brood over the top of the hanger and up the the relative safety of the shelf with the stacked jeans and sweats.
Such maternal dedication deserves something, so I decided not to do anything about this till I get back from Ajijic.
Maybe by then she will have found better accommodations for her family.
One hopes.
