I’m glad Wicket is in the room though, I know what he is watching as long as he is set up on his perch, rooting AGAINST Martin and Louisa, WHO DOES THAT?? Truly that OWL IS A MONSTER?!And a dear friend. Lifelong friendships are complicated.

Victoria, however, is a wonderful tv companion. I will miss her when they find her a suitable home. 🫤

Very much.

Suffice to say, Wicket is NOT my favorite tv marathon partner.

Long story short, we just need to watch a few more episodes…

However!! As long as the tv is on ‘Doc Martin’, it can’t be on a BCN broadcast. And so, in a roundabout way, this ALSO keeps the mice safe from Wicket.

Now that I know the Baseball War is over, my plan to bite through the television cord can proceed. Wish me luck! I will not need it. Snapping turtles can bite through bone, a Samsung cord is nothing.

Is the “Big Baseball Thing” over? That Man seems to really enjoy it, I’d hate to take out the television before it’s wrapped up. However, might be necessary to do my part in keeping 28 mice safe. 32. Bah. I’ve never liked word problems. Anyway, the baseball war, let me know.

No idea where Victoria lands. We all live on the raw meat from the grocer that That Man gifts us. She seems content with it, like myself. But one never knows. Seems a bit awkward to ask her when we’ve only just met, really.

Hmm… I may just bite through the tv cord altogether.

I’m a “bits of raw chicken out of a package from the grocery store” carnivore myself. I’m not proud of that fact, as it neither makes me a good hunter nor a thoughtful animal-ally. However, being a snapping turtle, I do believe I could commit worse sins.

He offered it to Wicket, who was thoroughly miserable about his feathers getting wet. But did not leave or refuse additional spritzes, I noticed.

Victoria thinks something is going on between Moulder and Scully. I’m undecided. They’re colleagues!

That Man has set himself up in the guest room for the moment to help Victoria acclimate. He is good like that. An exceptional kind of human. There is a tv in there. I have been shuffling in and out. No idea how to encourage him to put on Star Trek, but I shall try. Ideas?

He made polite conversation though. The usual. “How old are you?” “Where are you from?” “Do you enjoy eating raw hamburger?” (Who doesn’t)

She did not, alas. But not for lack of trying.

Anyway, Victoria seems kind and well mannered. I told her sometimes That Man watches Star Trek. Lately it’s been more X-Files than anything else, but maybe I can step on the remote.

She said Next Generation is her favorite. I let her know I’m more of a Deep Space Nine kind of fellow. She said she likes that one too. She adores Odo and Quark (truly, who doesn’t?) Wicket called into the room that he likes Darth Vader. Wicket. Really?

I didn’t know snakes could be so fond of television, but she told me her former owner enjoyed quiet nights sitting on a couch beside her tank, watching Star Trek and MST3K, before he passed away a couple of years ago.

She said those two shows feel like home.
