Yes, we know it's a snake.

We don't have a stuffed eel.

Yet.

A day out

We went over to Bath at the weekend to see the Madwoman's horse: she was completely unappreciative of our attempts to amuse and entertain her during what would otherwise

be a very boring journey.

 This is the reason for our trip: apparently Flash let it be known that he rather fancied a couple of carrots. The Madwoman presented him with a whole sack, but very meanly they didn't share any of them with us. Serves him right that he's having a mad hair day.

 Then while we were minding our own business we nearly got stampeded by donkeys.

There they are, stampeding away like anything.

It would have been a close thing if there hadn't been a fence in their way.

Then when we got home the Madwoman had forgotten to leave the heating on,

(yet another example of the incompetence we have to put up with) and it was freezing.

We had to insist on climbing into our pj's and then rested our toes hopefully on the radiator as it very slowly warmed up.

X marks the spot ...

Of course we've always known we're precious,
but it's nice to be able to remind the Madwoman occasionally.
Yes, we are proof that there is always
treasure at the end of the rainbow!

Another lazy Sunday

Exhausted.
Hard work, these photo shoots.

Yes, we are late posting our blog. Again.

It is because we have been having another Lazy Sunday.

We deserve it though, having had a busy and arduous week 

doing things like posing for

a photo shoot for one of the Madwoman's latest projects.

And anyway, you can't have everything - 

we are gorgeous and utterly adorable: 

don't expect punctuality as well.

Right, that's enough.
Let's lose the calming cap now.

Love my new Aunty Toni.
Nice warm hands.

 

 Matching smiles.

Next time we'll be swopping and I'll be 

putting my paws in Toni's mouth

Madwoman says 

we have to wait for T

Wassailling ...

 We went a did a bit of wassailing this morning outside Grandma's door.

The Madwoman failed to appreciate the finer points of our little recital and said 

that if you took the double esses out of the wassail it would be closer to the mark. 

And then she remembered she hadn't yet delivered our Christmas presents to her godson and his brother. More incompetence and inefficiency. We're just surprised she didn't wait a 

little longer and call them Easter gifts.

And then after a busy morning playing Santa Paws, we had a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Very lazy.

That's why we're late posting.

In case you were wondering ...

Although they may have been squeaked a bit.
