Spike (or Prudence) was located and assisted back to older, smaller quarters yesterday.

Did the Gordon Jackson "Good Luck" trick work or did the model plane he was flying run out of rubber twists just before the Swiss Alps? Hammie the Hamster and Animal Magic were two of my childhood favourites so I tend to over- anthropomorphacise all animals.
Neither. His tunnel was discovered five yards from the wire and, when tested, I could clearly smell what the police call 'intoxicants', in this case mentho-lyptus, on his breath. It was a fair cop and society is definitely not to blame.
