Recently I had made up a recipe, "Farmhouse Sausage". Although the sauce in the recipe was awesome, I was reminded, the hard way, why I stopped eating thick sausages so many decades ago, so decided, I'll save the sauce for myself for other meals, but will chop up the sausages and put them aside for … Continue reading Silly Sausage

Priceless moments of week ending 16th April ’17
No doubt, knowing my furkids, content will be added to this blog. 10th April Cleo heading off to the bedroom at a casual pace with a bone in her mouth after I distinctly told her, "no bones in the bedroom" A flash of fur speeds past as Milly chases after Cleo, "Hey! That's my bone!" … Continue reading Priceless moments of week ending 16th April ’17
Treats Galore
Because of Cleo's debilitating conditions, mainly her blindness. I worry that at her age, she's getting bored with life. I can't walk her as much as I'd like due to my own health issues, so I worry that she's not getting enough stimulation. A couple of days ago, I came across a cat ball, with … Continue reading Treats Galore
Doggy Rewards
I googled Is Chamomile Tea safe for dogs and much to my delight it was. I had left over tea from the night before but wanted to make sure I didn't make my girls sick before tipping it into their bowl. Cleo saw me approach the bowl, so she followed. "You want?" "Of course! I … Continue reading Doggy Rewards
Cats and toileting

Amusingly I realised I knew exactly which cat it was too. It seems all 4 of my cats have different … Continue reading Cats and toileting

The finch being groomed had his bum up in the air as his brother tended to the tail feathers. Puzzled, I thought, why is he getting his brother to groom him, finches can groom their own … Continue reading Personal Groomer
The Things Furkids do to remind us of their presence…
Buying myself a kebab through a home delivery service, it wasn't enough that I shared it with my furkids. The wrapper was barely in the recycling bag for five minutes before Cleo, my near blind senior who's nose could put a bloodhound to shame, found the wrapper, fished it out of the bag and commenced … Continue reading The Things Furkids do to remind us of their presence…
Going Shopping?
Milly likes to act like the cats so that anything that looks soft enough to bed down in, she'll use it. This often includes a stray shopping bag that found its way to the floor. Imagine my amusement when Milly toddles into the kitchen with the strap of a material bag saddling her back legs, … Continue reading Going Shopping?
Trials of a Rat
One of my rats wasn't happy with me just now. She had injured her foot a day or so ago, and I'd noticed it last night when I was doing my daily head count. Having 7 rats, I constantly need to make sure all are still alive and none have escaped, with so many ratters … Continue reading Trials of a Rat
