Cutting down

A couple of years back there might have been news of livestock arriving at Rock HQ, such as a cow, or pedigree sheep, but that was then and this is now, times have changed, been there done that mode rules and now we are happy with smaller things that race around and demand entertainment (Kids, non goat type) hence Honey the Hamster now resident in the charity shop bargain cage.
The fact that we will get as much milk from this hamster as we did from Hetty our ex house cow who is now causing mayhem over in Stable Sprites domain is a side issue,
Honey is the apprentices charge and in some weird comedic Fawlty Towers script reversal  lil t insists on calling Honey a rat, as in "can I feed my rat?" to which the only reply is "Its not a rat its hamster" to which he replies "Its not a hamster its a rat daddy" repeat his Manuel to my Basil ad nausea.
