Rupert makes it to dry land

Rupert was one of the first to get his front legs and easily the most excited about the platform that breaks the surface in our new home. I can't see what the attraction is, but he has spent all today just sitting out in the air watching the world go by. He hasn't been the same since he got that extra pair of legs.



He just sits there, not even budging at meal times. Meanwhile his once glorious tail, which he was once so proud of, is a mere shadow of its former self. I ask you, he can't even swim with it anymore! What is the point of that?

Another thirty of our friends from the old home came pouring out of the sky to join us today. Life is good, or it would be if I didn't have this dreadful itching down both sides of my body.
