Hoorah!!
Worm is safe and sound, back in his ice cream container.
Obviously, I know now not to make any snap judgements of the conduct of my son in the future, assuming that it was he who spirited Worm away to another place (I even contemplated the fact that he may have eaten him!).
No, as soon as A got home from work, and started looking for him, he found him, stuck to the side of the dining table, about 10cm away from where I'd been sitting all afternoon, drinking coffee. It seems as if he'd made a run for it.
I think this must be a first. In all the time I have known A, almost 13 years, he has never once been able to find something that I haven't. I must be losing my touch.
Still, there may be trouble brewing. M refused to hold Worm when he reappeared. I think he maybe trying to punish him for trying to do a runner. Its possible the love affair has ended.
*I am assuming that Worm is male; he could of course be a she. Anyone know how to sex a snail?

Back in the Bosom of his Family

The Hunt is On
Anyone seen a snail?
Worm seems to have gone missing. I don't think he's made a run for it, rather that a little boy has put him in a 'safe' place, which obviously is now unknown.
I've tried all sorts of ways of trying to discover where Worm is, but I think it is a secret that only he and M are destined to share.
The worst thing is having to watch where I stand and sit, just in case!
So, if anyone finds a brown and beige striped snail, answering to the name of Worm, could you please send it this way?!

When 3 became 4
No, don't panic, no major news!
Just that last night (well, I guess it must've been Sunday cos we found him when putting the tent away) we acquired a new pet.
Worm the snail (yes M did name 'him', don't know why he chose Worm, cos he knows its a snail!) is now living in an ice cream container on the dining room table.
Will try to post a picture when I can.
He was given a Cheerio for breakfast this morning. I think M and I need to have a chat about what snails eat!
Short but sweet post; I really need to get myself sorted out.
