Sluggy...no not my couch or the comic

We had a little visitor last night in the den. He was long, slender, brown, a little slow, but really really cute!

I'm talking about a little slug. :-) A slug is basically a snail without a shell and snails are good guys in my book...ergo slugs are cool too. No I didn't introduce this little guy to my couch, but I did go over to speak to him.

It's amazing the amount of control they have over their bodies- they can turn on a dime...no, something smaller than a dime. They can make a hairpin turn instantly. Yes it takes a bit longer for them do do that, but if you put a finger in their way, they'll just go around it and leave about half a millimeter in between themselves and you. Like a little hug.

Amazing little guys. I put him in the bushes before he could slime up the carpet. Now we know who's been leaving the little tell-tale trails on the front walk. ;-) Hope he's doing okay...
