Thirsty Work.

Eric: Walking in the fields is thirsty work.....

so I will stop and have a drink while Flynn looks for mousies.

Flynn: I think I heard rustling.

I must be quiet.

There he goes!

Hmphh! He got away.

Suppertime.

I didn't like the food mum gave me last night.......

So I went and caught my own supper.

Told You So!

Mum told me I was wasting my time waiting here for mousies because they would be in the barn.

I know differently though. Just a bit of patience, then POUNCE!

Told you so mum! I was very good though and didn't eat the mousie. I just had a little taste.

We are sorry we didn't do much visiting yesterday. Google decided it didn't want to put yesterdays post in its reader so no-one knew we had posted. Then it decided to make everyones posts disappear so we didn't know who to visit, and it took us a long time to visit not many blogs. It has included our post today and everyone else is back as well, but now it has decided that now they are back they have to stay there even after we have read them. Google! What are you doing to us???

Looking for Mousies.

I have found a hole and I am looking to see if any mousies are in it.

There's nothing in it. Flynn told me it's not even a mouse hole but I think he is just trying to fool me.

I will sit here and listen out for any mousies.

Silly Eric had his head down a hole that the horsies had made when they pulled a big clump of grass up.

Shh, I think I hear a mousie.

This is a real mouse hole. I'm not silly like Eric. I think he is hiding in here but don't worry, I can wait for him to come out, I'm not in any hurry.

Mancat Monday

The sun is still shining and I am still looking for mousies. I was so intently watching that I didn't even see the pheasant on the hedge above me until he flew off and made me jump.

There are lots of mousies that live in here, but not as many as last week.

And if I get my way, there will be even less next week.

Eric the Hunter.

The other day I caught a shrew in the garden and took it indoors to show mum. I had a point to prove cuz Flynn always sez he is the Mighty Hunter and he has to catch the mousies for me.




Well, the proof is in the pudding so to speak, and here I am with my prey.




It had already gone dead when I took it indoors, but it was much too cold to stay outside with it.



And this is the out take video.

The Friday Flashback - Hunt Week.

As Fin is having Hunt Week, we thought we would continue the theme for our Friday Flashback. This is from January 2008 and I was very pleased with myself because I caught my own mousie instead of Flynn catching it for me.
I did actually catch a little shrew yesterday too, and took it indoors for mum to see. I think she will help me post about it next week. Anyway, todays Friday Flashback is called:

ERIC'S MOUSIE.

When I wuz in the field with mum, I thought I heard sumfing in the grass. It wuz a mouse! I listened keerfully then I pounced. I caught it all on my own. It wuzn't Flynn, it wuz me.
And here's a video clip of me wiv my very own mousie.

See Flynn I can catch them furr myself.

Revenge

It should have been the Friday Flashback today, but I was so embarrassed that my mousie got away yesterday that I went back looking for him again today. All I can say is that revenge tastes very sweet.

Hunters

Eric: It has rained so much lately that we haven't been for many walks. Today I am making the most of it and looking for mousies. The door to Mr and Mrs Mouse's house is here and I am trying to look in to see if any one is home. Nope, doesn't seem like it.

Flynn: While Eric is trying to visit Mr and Mrs Mouse, I am playing with the grasshoppers. I think they like to play because when they jump, I jump, and then they jump again. It is a fun game and they are nice and crunchy. Maybe they don't like that part of the game as much.

Mancat Monday

Now the weather is getting warmer, the mousies are coming out more. I caught another one today but he didn't want to play. He went dead right away. I think that was very mean of him to spoil my game.
