Fact 1
During the night a little (unknown) animal walked up the steps all the way to my appartment to take a crap right infront of my door !! :eek:
It could have gone ANYWHERE but no, it decided to climb the stairs (almost impossible stairs for animals, my dog can't even climb them) and do it's stuff literally on my doorstep..

Fact 2
I had a REAL pet fly (called Mouche), she was so cool, she was orange and wouldn't fly and wasn't afraid of anything !! she loved to dance and lie on her back wiggling her little fly legs. I stepped on her twice and she survived !! But one day I came home and she was gone
I miss you Mouche..
