Asking for advice. For a friend. He said his pet has outgrown, and escaped from, the cute little carry-along cottage-like critter-cage. Now, smashing motorcycles (he didn’t mean to); snarling traffic; cars and trucks, a bulldozer and a 4×4 all come to play. Even a fire truck but where are the firemen? They were here just a minute […]
