Little Guests in our Garden

Yesterday two little hedgehoges fell into our old duck pond - it's dry and thankfully not deep enough to get seriously hurt, but too deep to get out again unassistedly.




So we untangled them and used the opportunity to take some pictures. They put up with this in a quite composed way, just a little bit annoyed by us tedious humans :-)










Although they are full of ticks (visible) and fleas (invisible) they are simply cute.


Seems like our tomcat Ozelot thinks so, too ... watch him getting interested ... cowering down, the perfect hunter ...





But whoops, it moves! In my direction!!!

And the 'brave' tomcat backs off ... *g*



Our pets are that way ... the cats fear our rabbit, but chase the dog. And if you want to cross our courtyard be aware of chickens, they love toes. We live in a quite strange environment ;-)










It was really nice to watch both hedgehoges scurrying away after this funny intermezzo, let's hope they stay away from the street.
