See you next week..same time..same place!

Felties and Ferrets!!

I am most excited. I received some paperclay in the mail yesterday and can't wait to try to make something. May be a disaster but I'm willing to take the chance. Hopefully Timmy won't eat it! I also have tea stained some faux fur and am going to try to make one of those old antique critters I like so much and of course I am still needlefelting. I can't just sit and watch TV...have to be doing something.

So here are my latest creations.

Wool ball fat cats..all covered with soft alpaca...

After taking pics of these I went to bed and what did I find??

A little scrawny ferret..

..

Not my big boy Hansel but a little wee girl.

I have actually had her since the fall but I didn't know if she was going to make it or not. It was touch and go for a while, but she seems to have fought back and is actually gaining weight. My fiance"s friend is getting a divorce and the ferret had to go. Yet he was able to keep 2 dogs and get a kitten...hmmmm

My friend wanted a ferret for her 5 years old daughter so we were going to give her to them..until we saw her..so tiny, so fragile and wobbly on her legs. She is deaf as most albinos are but has pretty good eyesight. Better than my Hansel.

Here's the kicker. Ferret average life span is 6-7yrs old. It's a big deal if you can get to 7. My Hansel will be 7 this year..well this grand lady is going on 10!!!

Imagine dumping a pet of that age. That is like dumping a 20yr old dog..

They also named her Ferret Face..what a cruddy name for this little lady.

She has become quite frisky and very steady on her legs. She is so sweet and cuddly. I just love her. She really doesn't like Hansel but he is rather stinky. She was spayed and descented so she doesn't smell....too bad..LOL

Hansel is the big guy on the right. I think she is trying to be a shark..Run Hansel!!!

Ewwww..you have a stinky butt!!!

Go away before I bite your legs off. Poor Hansel I kept tossing him up on the bed to take pics but there was no way he was hanging around!!!

PS--for all you pug lovers check out these little guys!!

Timmy

Timmy never ceases to amaze me. He is such a crafty little bugger. I had a bag of bunny (of course) shaped jube-jubes in the middle of the table. You already know where this is going:)

I leave the room for maybe 1 minute. I look about and Timmy is sitting on a chair at the table, which is nothing new. The bag was still on the table. I look down and notice Buster Peebody had a big 1/4" thick yellow bunny jube jube stuck to the roof of his mouth. He has a very bad undershot jaw so he could not dislodge it and didn't have time to claw it out of his mouth. So I removed it. When I checked the bag, which was still in the middle of the table, there was only one jube jube left. I look at Timmy and I swear he was grinning at me, but no sign of candy. I know he ate it but how he did it so fast I'll never know. He must not have chewed them....

So while I was out playing ball with my Border Collie Pippin, Buster Peebody and Timmy escaped their yard. They went into Pip's yard, through the fence and out into the stable area. Buster Peebody saw me and ran for his life back to the yard but Mr Timmy was just getting ready to have a roll in some fresh horse manure. So off to the bath he goes.

I bathe the little dogs in an old laundry tub in the basement. Timmy has demanded a spa but I am ignoring him. Timmy actually enjoys his baths unless I wash his head. I don't often do that very often.

This time I did..."hey Lady I'm naked here!!"

Obviously it does not take long to dry Timmy but I like to blow dry his head and tail because he feels the cold. Also Timmy does not run around like a maniac after a bath, he shakes twice , runs a bit then waits for me in his towel to dry him. Well my blow drier caught on fire so I had to throw it out.

Timmy is not impressed by not having a blow drier. I think he is wishing me dead in this pic.

This is a close up of his sore nose..Anyone ever seen anything like this before? It's quite swollen right now.

Finally here he is all dry (thanks to my fluff drying) with his sort of pals. He has on a nice clean , warm out of the dryer turtleneck with a warmed up blanket to lay on, which Buster Peebody is stealing. . FiFi is feeling much better now and has been seizure free. Hopefully she stays that way for a while. I can't believe she actually stayed for this picture! Buster Peebody..well he is just trying not to get into trouble...

We were also given this Fab award from Too Cute Pugs, Pearl and Daisy.

3- I'm afraid of bears

4-Pippin chases invisible things in the air but only when I am driving a tractor.

Well that's my picks for this week. Till next time!

Crazy Times

It has been nutty here at the funny farm. I've been fighting an infection under my eyelid. Being on the computer annoys it so this won't be too long :)
My poor little toy poodle FiFi had a minor seizure on the weekend. She had not had one in so long I was hoping they were gone for good, but she is okay. It bothered me more than her.

My barn cat Ollie brought me a beautiful present of a goose leg. Not just any goose leg but one with a huge webbed foot bigger than his head. The bone is about 1" thick. I don't know how he carried it over the back door of the barn..but he did! The two cats are having a grand time playing with it, so as disgusting as it is I have not thrown it out......yet.
Finally Timmy has a sore nose. He has had this since I got him and it flares up every once in a while. I had a biopsy years ago but no results. It makes his nose swell, get red inside the right nostril and drip a bit. If you look at his mug shots you can see it starting. Does not seem to bother him so I don't worry...well maybe I worry a little.

Here are my new felties..I've been busy but now am going to take a break from it.

I've been counting sheep day and night! I love the blue guys pudgy face...

My Piggie!
