Squishy the rat died today
A horror I can’t stop replay
So to ease the pain in my mind
I just happen to have a great new find
She’s tall, she’s thin, she’s delicate
And no my friend, she’s not a rat
Squishy is dead, Squishy has died
Squishy the orchid lives, I have not lied
–Sharkboy, 2005
Long Live Squishy!!

Orchids can be unpleasant particularly when they’re menstruating.
Hey . . . you . . . if you happen to see that bear de la post, please tell him hello for me and stuff.
Can you do that without hurting any other rodents? CAN YOU?!
BTW I walked over to Church St this pm and Squishy the Rat is still there. He has however, finished the cigarette.
The orchid is actually less bother than my Shamrock. 15 min in a bath once a week and indirect sunlight. The odd spritz (usually when I iron) and Squishy should be happy. O’Brien needs full on sun every day and water every other day.
Giovanni, my rosemary plant, has some white “dust” on it. Fungal?
Kenisha The African Violet, just had all her flowers die.
Squishy the rat is a low maintanence pet, unlike Squishy the orchid.
I think Squishy was smoking when he was hit, so SMOKING IS BAD! I didnt CSI the scene, those could be bone chunks.
This is my offical “first Toronto Rat” I have ever seen (thankfully dead). The orchid (also named Squishy) is an early b-day present from Sharkboy.
Is Squishy the Rat smoking a cigarette or did someone just put out the butt on poor Squishy’s head after the fact…???
Are those bone chucks lying next to him..???
