Plush furs

Our at NC Zoological Park...they love balls

Long useful nails

Attraction at the zoo

Rolly poly: males over 1,500 lb, female 800 lb

Black skin under their white fur

Ears tiny

Appearance is cumbersome but they are agile

Really loves water

My first thought when I saw this photo was the song, 

"Muskrat love', written by Willis Alan Ramsey

performed by Captain and Tennille in 1980

Here are the first three verses of Musk Rat Love, 

I will write a version of Hedge Hog love in red under each verse 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight

Doin' the town and doin' it right

In the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Hedge hog, hedge hog walking around,

Doin' the town in fine style in your barefeet

In the mornin' lookin' fine in the rising sun

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug

Out in the muskrat land

And they shimmy

Sam is so skinny

Hedge hog Hank and Hedge hog Heidi

Doin' two step on the street

You shimmy to the right and shimmy to the left

Both of you well groomed and lookin' fine

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango

Singin' and jinglin' a jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

Looks like muskrat love

They whirl and the twirl

to the music in they hear in their Hedge hog ears

Gentle breezes blowing,  melodies

flowing sure looks like Hedge hog love to me

Great fun in the sun

Only for the most fit

Long limbs needed

Four par makes you a star

Sweet Kitty and Precious puppy

.

An amazing family came into the shelter looking for

furry friends, 

The first thing they saw a puppy tenderly holding a kitty's tail

in his mouth.

What is their story they asked? 

The shelter told the family they were both found cuddled

together. 

Their bond was like no other, said he volunteer

The family said we want them both...we'll become their 

furever family.

The volunteer smiled, the children squealed with glee.

We are now a family of  six, 

We'll teach them tricks 

Give them lots love and toys

We'll call the kitty Mitch and the Puppy Patch.

No matter where I am, or the season

My mind's eye finds a reason

to see mountains in all their glory.

They are my happy place to go exploring.

Thankful today.  

Photo snapped September 24, 2016

(This picture was taken right outside of Boone, NC in the beautiful NC mountains)

Mom has no idea how she got the pink hue.

It was an all you can eat buffet.

My tummy said yummy

I grabbed a plate plied it high

My eyes said OH My

When I looked in the mirror,

To my surprise, I saw Little Miss Muffet

Peeping over the mile high  pile.

with smiling eyes
