Dad keeps the straw for the horses beds in a shed behind our garden hedge. In the winter the mousies and sometimes ratsies try to get in to eat any corn left in the straw. When they do that, they chew through the cords that hold the straw bales together, then when dad tries to lift them up, they break. That makes him say words on the Bad Werd List.
We help him by sitting on the straw bales and keeping a lookout for ratsies and mousies.
You have to sniff the straw to see if they have been around lately.
To make sure we don't miss them, we take it in turns with one of us looking up and the other looking down. We think dad is very glad of our help.

I'm sure your dad is very glad for your help! Do you eat them too, or just keep watch for them?
ReplyDeleteYou boys are great helpers.

Yes that and instead of having to look for the mousies, you can just wait for them to show up.
ReplyDeleteI am certain he is very glad of your help! What a good job you cats are doing!
ReplyDeleteHey y'all, be careful not to step on that needle that is supposed to be in there somewhere!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you two are helping your dad out in the barn. Oooh, hope you catch one of the mousies.

ReplyDeleteAnd because you both are the same color as the straw, the mousies and ratsies can't see you there waiting to chase them away.

Y'all make a very good team. Plus, we really think your Dad couldn't handle the farm without your help.

i understand your dad saying bad words. our human has picked up a bale of hay and had it fall apart several feet from where she wanted it to be. you can never pick it all back up either. thats very nice of you to watch for the naughty critters.

We know your Dad wouldn't want to do it without your help. You are such good helpers and snoopervisors. xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYour dad is lucky to have you two around to lend him a hand with the ratsies and mousies. Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he is extremely grateful for your help! Keep up the good work fellas!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are excellent helpers in the barn!
ReplyDeleteWell, you two really earn your keep...how do you stay so clean? (=^Y^=)
ReplyDeleteIt's just cat heaven at your place y'know. No hunting of mice and ratz in the comfort of a cosy straw shed for us, oh no! It's out in the rainy, cold garden for us, or nowt.
ReplyDeleteWe may move in with you for the winter next year, if that's ok?

My gosh you guys are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou two fellas aren't only gorgeous, but such a special help to your mom and dad. I don't know what they did before yous.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your Dad really appreciates all the help you give him. Who else could sniff out ratsies and mousies -- certainly not a bean with their terrible sense of smell.
