This flashback comes from March 2010 and was called:
Another Day, Another Walk.
Eric: The weather stayed dry so we took mum for another walk. Flynn was listening to mousies so I crept up on him.
He jumped into the hedge after it, but this one got away. He will be back looking for it again tomorrow.
Then we sat in the grass for a while and did a bit of nomming.
Flynn was still listening for mousies, but I kept nomming.
Then Flynn decided it was time to walk again, so I had to follow him. That boy can't sit still for two minutes!
I climbed on the hedge to look at the sheep but couldn't see them.
I looked the other way but still couldn't see them. They must have moved into another field.
Then bliss! I found some pheasant poop and was going to have a good roll in it, but mum saw me and shouted at me. I ignored her so she pushed me away from it, so I bit her. It wasn't a hard bite, just a warning bite to leave me alone because I wanted the poop. Do you know what she did? She smacked my bottom. How dare she! I may report her for cruelty.
All the time this was happening, Mr.Goody Twoshoes Flynn was sat posing in the sun so she would tell him what a good handsome boy he is. BLECH!

That was a fun walk, they sure did enjoy their walks! Love the art too!
ReplyDeleteNow as a Heavenly Angel, do you miss pheasant poop at all?
ReplyDeleteYou two did enjoy your walks, and rolling in stinky stuff. People just don't want that in the house, sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
I'd have to side with mum on this one, Angel Eric...
ReplyDeleteToo bad that Eric's choice of 'perfume' called pheasant poop was not Mom's favorite...!
ReplyDeleteOur Speckie girl is always out listening for mousies and often catches one.
Fond memories...
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
The boys certainly had lovely surroundings
ReplyDeleteto walk in....nice open fields and hedges..!xx
LOL! The boys had the BEST place in the world for keeping up with their walks and staying fit for hunting purposes......mice, birds, and even spying on sheep! Rolling in poop isn't the NICEST of choices for a good time but it seems to be something that's almost irresistible - a good swat from Mom takes all the fun out of it though!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
Oh that Eric. If only he knew a scrub in the tub would have been a lot worse than a boot on the hiney. They must have been a delight to take a walk with.
ReplyDeleteYou boys had a lovely day for your walk! I did laugh at the pheasant poop...I tend to think that it's only dogs that love to roll in gross stuff, but obviously not! 😁
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun walk you two had! The banter between you two must have been pawsome ;)
ReplyDeleteMum likes puzzles too :)
Purrs, Winnie
I loved their walks!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom was smart to keep you out of the pheasant poop!
ReplyDeleteEric and Flynn had PhDs in perimeter patrol of their acreage!! How dare the Pheasant to poop in your patrol area
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Gorgeous green landscapes! I'd love to have gone on walks there with you boys and your Mom. Our little black matriarch Peanut likes to hunt for mousies; more than once we've seen one dangling from her mouth as she trots off. Mom's catwork is very pretty. Hope Mom and Dad are both well. Until next time...Jean
ReplyDeleteNomming and mouse hunting, the boys always had fun!

ReplyDeleteHave a nomtastic weekend 👍
Cute flashback. Sounds like Eric really liked his pheasant poop. Thanks for the puzzles. XO
ReplyDeleteRolling in pheasant poop?!?!?! I don't blame her for smacking you!
ReplyDeleteFlynn looked very clean and well groomed in the photo. I think he was a good boy to not roll in the dirt or whatever.
ReplyDeleteLoved the field pictures! It is always wonderful to see how they enjoyed being outside together.
ReplyDeleteWe hope Eric understood that you smacked his bottom (lightly we are sure) so that he wouldn't have to get a bath to wash off the pheasant poo...
Those boys led such a perfect life! It's always lovely to be reminded of their adventures.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
It's nice to remember their adventures and our early days of blogging.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy these memories of Eric and Flynn's adventures in the fields. They are forever remembered and loved. XO
ReplyDeleteGreat flashback pics. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletepheasant poop!!! Frodo wants to hear more about such a marvelous elixir! He loves rolling in strange things and is very jealous you have such cool poop on your property!
ReplyDeleteWhat great adventures they had! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh I love the sunshiny picture of Flynn. So stunning with the glow of the sun. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures at dusk
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and art!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun outing - though a smack on the bottom is NOT fun. What a nerve of your Mum!
ReplyDeleteJackie I was astounded to read about the horrible wind you are having. It must be all most impossible to do much outside.
ReplyDeleteYou and Ivor Stay grounded and warm

Good job hunting the mousies ! Rolling in poop sounds like a doggie thing, maybe your mom didn't know that some cats enjoy it too ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteMousies were clever that day, LOL!
ReplyDeleteMJF was a pup who loved to find deer poop...and he'd be quick as lightning even on a leash, to start rolling in it! UGH!
OMC Angel Eric...really...we only knew doggies who roll over Poophoven...now Granny's really alert for this smelly thing😹Great pictures guys😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteCome over for the Pawty If the boys didn't leave you their tunnel, the Bus can come for you and don't worry, it travels well under the ocean.
ReplyDeleteAnd boys, you had to have learned some civil manners about that smelly poop.
ReplyDeleteYou guys always do the most thorough patrols!
ReplyDeleteThat Feline Flow one is beautiful, it should be a card or something. It moved me so much.
