"Tentu saja, ketika kami sampai di rumah, kami menemukan bahwa Dagda mengencingi selimut saya. Dia juga memakan sebagian dari pakis maidenhair Mom dan menaruhnya di atas karpet. Kemudian dia tampaknya bekerja keras dalam kegilaan mengasah kulitnya dengan cakar yang luar biasa efektif di sandaran kursi kursi favorit ayahku. Sekarang dia tertidur di bantal, meringkuk seperti siput kecil berbulu. "Ya Tuhan, dia sangat imut," kataku, menggelengkan kepala."

Of course, when we got home, we found that Dagda had peed on my down comforter. He had also eaten part of Mom's maidenhair fern and barfed it up on the carpet. Then he had apparently worked himself into a frenzy sharpening his ting by amazingly effective claws on the armrest of my dad's favorite chair. Now he was asleep on a pillow, curled up like a fuzzy little snail. "God, he's so cute," I said, shaking my head.
