    They don't dig holes looking for bugs, they don't lay on plants, they don't eat the plants and they don't leave poop in the garden. They are the perfect garden critters. ;)

    Oh nice... red blooms will look nice against your fence. I thought it was Feverfew or Chrysanthemum.

    Lovely critters, and so well-behaved too. :D I could get used to those. *scowling at my two innocent-looking kitties*
