Fall news

Claire took advantage of a few days of vacation in October to visit the beautiful city of Basel and its zoo with Momo.

She was able to pass on our greetings to some of our cousins.

After they came back, we went to the vet for our annual visit, and everything is fine… or almost : a blood test revealed a beginning of renal failure for Pixie (she has no clinical signs, it’s an early stage, there are just a few dietary adjustments to be done) and Zorro will have to go for a dental cleaning at the beginning of December (the same day as Momo, ha ha !). Nothing serious, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Hello Autumn !

We’ve been hyperactive in the last few weeks : morally supporting Claire for the start of school, celebrating her birthday, regularly bringing live mice into the house (preferably in the middle of the night) to train our humans to hunt (between us, they are really useless ! ), …

As you can see, it was exhausting.

We’re now looking forward to the countdown to Christmas !

Mystery solved

Many of you have wondered, as we have, what the little tunnel we showed you recently might be used for, and what the bits and pieces of words we heard meant.

Phiphi, Zoé, Pâquerette, Ivan and Izzy, Angel and Balou, Shadow, Ernie, Monti and Finn, and Omi Elke were right: there will be work in spring to insulate the exterior walls of the house !

So that we can continue to go out, our humans will move a section of the fence of the garden, and we’ll be able to continue to access it by means of a long tunnel. What you have seen is only the first part; the rest will be made with wire mesh attached to a board. Claire and Momo want us to get used to passing through the tunnel for 2 or 3 months before the work starts, so we can show it to you very soon.

I’m not thrilled with the noise and excitement ahead, even if it’s only a few months away !
