Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been rather warm this week at BBHQ, and the hedgehogs have been very active around the garden. We know that we haven't shared the two babies, so here they are in all their cuteness!

This is Bip Bip the Hedgehog.

And this is Nippy the Hedgehog.

They don't usually come out until it's a little darker, but they must have been hungry and thirsty. That's never anything they have to worry about at BBHQ as the bowls are always full, and there are many different watering holes around the garden,

And we have to tell mew this: never in the 25 years the P.A. has lived here has she ever seen a fox in the garden, and that's mainly because it's fenced all the way around with only small holes for the hedgehogs to come and go. However, very late on Sunday evening, the P.A. heard a noise by the summer house, and as she looked down the dark path she spied what she first thought was Fudge's doppelganger, who pops in for a visit now and again, but as the doppelganger got closer, she realised it was a juvenile fox, who suddenly froze and then slunk off into the shadows of the trees.

So BBHQ now has a little fox to go with the menagerie! MOL

The Highland Adventure continued...

On the way back to Perth along the A86 between Newtonmore and Spean Bridge, Pattack Falls is a popular tourist place to stop. Mew literally just pull in off the road, park up and walk down a little path, and mew come to this delightful stream.

It was a really warm day, and several people were paddling and kids splashing about in the crystal clear water, so photo opportunities were limited, but mew can see how pretty it is.

Apparently, if mew go up the path in the photo below, mew would see the waterfall. Sadly, the P.A. didn't have time or the right footwear for a trek, but if mew click here, mew can see what the P.A. missed.

It was so very pretty, and the link to the website above...

...shows many photos, and now the P.A. wishes she'd trekked on! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

Fudge's Loving This Sunspot

Fudge adored reclining in the catservatory the other day, and spent hours upside down soaking up the warms.

We'll have some more Sunpots of The Week next time, so we'll see who got the best spot then! MOL

 Parsley Vamped Out

Parsley vamped out while sitting in the window the other evening. It's funny—not funny, haha, but funny strange, as at the time, we were watching Blade II with Wesley Snipes.

Maybe Parsley was inspired! MOL

Finally this week

Smooch Found A Cool Spot

It was really warm yesterday, so Smooch headed into the BBHQ library. It always stays much cooler in there if the door is kept closed and the blinds are down.

Later, he vanished into the Valentine's Cottage for a snooze, and the P.A. couldn't find him for ages! MOL

  1. Y'all are so adorable and so is the hedgehog family. Yikes, a fox! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

  2. The hedgehogs sure are cute. And we bet the fox was, too!

    We loved the photos of Pattack Falls, and of all of you. We especially enjoyed Fudge airing it out and Parsley's fangs! And Smooch is so smart, staying cool.

    We vote for you to go bananas next week, Melvyn!

    Hugs!

  3. The hedgehogs are precious.

    As for the fox, as long as he minds his manners he's welcome, right? Rule one, don't eat the other residents!

    The photos from the PA's visit are excellent and much appreciated.

    The things you all do around the house each day, you must keep your PA very busy keeping up with all of you.

    My vote is for number five, Sunshine!

  5. The hedgehogs are cute. There seem to be a lot of juvenile foxes around this year. We had a family take over one of the old and disused badger setts. Our neighbour has had two get into her chicken run, probably from the same family.
    The photos and link are beautiful. Parsley's fangs made me laugh.

  6. #5, for sure!
    That is a beautiful stream, and can believe it was a good place to be when the temps are high.
    Parsley's pic is hilarious.

  8. What great shots and the hedgehog is adorable.

    A fox? Yikes.

    All of you kitties are most adorable.

    I choose Mr. Sunshine for next week.

    Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥

  9. # 5 Melvyn! Can't wait to see you coming down the Cat-Walk! The hedgehogs are adorable. Mom loves them. And Parsley and Fudge...ooo la laaaa!

  10. Adorable B-Team pictures, we loved them all! Hedgehogs are cute too, and that creek is just gorgeous! And a fox too, wow. We had a gray fox in the yard with no trouble long ago; our cats were only outside with close supervision during those times; long story. Good bunch of bandanas and a tough call ..
    I'm voting for #3, the bananas among the bandanas.

  11. Love the Parsley vampire shot. Cute hedgehogs and beautiful photos of your trip. Be careful of the fox when it grows up, it could harm the kitties. Glad Smooch can have bandanas again. I pick #1. XO
