Hedges Kitties and Skabby

Good morning Mum's blogger friends. This is Ambrose posting about our doings here on the farm.

Uh-oh. Mum only got one photo of me - on the top of the fridge!
But.
Mum seems to have more time to zoom in on us. She also is taking photos of us kitties and Skabby doing special things.(Mama below at the dog plodge bowl).
Mmm. Must be something to do with the closed-up thingy at the moment in South Africa. 
What Mum? Oh she says it's the LOCKDOWN. 
See, Mum is getting our expressions! 

 Chappie on the step-chair on the veranda...
 ...she's quite aware of the next door doggies behind their fence! 

 Mum snapped Mama lapping water from the dog's plodging bowl - she took dozens of photos but I chose this one. (Remember I still taunt Mama whenever I can - only in playfulness though!) 
 Mum caught her big Skabby in an introspective mood. Normally if she even LOOKS at him, he jumps up and comes towards her! 
 Missy has many hours outdoors these days and is becoming quite responsible about not going too far. (Teens! They need constant watching and calling! Tsk) 
See- Mum zoomed in on Missy's cute paws while the little kitty watched the birds in the eaves of the roof 

OH! ANOTHER photo of Mama, Mum? She says I must add a caption. Mama is one of Mum's successful rescue kitties - as is Missy. She says she'll post about it sometime. For now she asked me to please post about how relaxed and at home Mama is here in the Hedges Kitty Household - oh and Skabby domain, (who taught that DOG to read? Grrr)

TO ALL KITTIES, DOGS AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD PETS OUT THERE, THIS IS A WISH FROM SOUTH AFRICA THAT YOUR HUMANS STAY SAFE AND WELL AND YOU BEHAVE - SEE!

A cute new critter on the farm

Hi my precious blogger friends and Eileen. This week a cute new little critter - a pup - arrived at the farm. Ron and John, my neighbors, landlords, and friends acquired a dog. 

 Meet Dot! 
 Ron with her new baby! 
 Cuddled up for a nap 

Dot is a beagle x Jack Russel. She was one of a litter of 13 pups. Derry, Ron' s second oldest granddaughter, living on the other side of me, has a brother to Dot.

 Junior, above is Ron's son, Gavin's dog. She is  the adult version of Dot and the other little doggie now residents on the farm

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here

TO ALL OUT THERE, BE SAFE
 HAPPY SATURDAY

Hedges pets practice social distancing

Mom's dear Blogger friends. This is Ambrose. Although we kitties and Skabby don't know what social distancing is, yesterday some of us seemed to be practicing it. Mum was talking about a global pandemic.

*Sigh* I wish Unca Shadow was here to explain THIS to me.

One of the rules the authorities have set in place is for humans to keep their distance from each other. They are also not allowed to hug or touch each other. Phew. I am pleased that this isn't the same for us. Mum has been stroking and cuddling us all our lives. We'd hate to be distanced from her now. 



What humans don't always realize is that we animals always keep a respectful distance from another unless we really are friends and like to cuddle together.  This way we respect each  other's space. If we bumbled into another without permission, we are hissed at.
