Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the post comes from February 2010 and is called: On Guard!
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.

  6. I just love seeing pictures of both these wonderful Tomcats together at the same time. How handsome day were and what good work they did. Around here when somebody has a barn cat, they just leave them out there on their own and don't even feed them. They wouldn't think of having them as such wonderful pets.

  12. I'll bet the boys were great at that duty - though I worry that the rats were sometimes too big or ferocious for them...

  22. Your babies were so precious. They give us such joy.

    We have a kitty here that has adopted us. Hangs around most of the time and we feed her everyday. We think she's pregnant, but we'll deal with that down the road. We'll care for the kitties.

    Have a fabulous day, Jackie. Hugs. ♥
