Ringtail in the Fireplace and Brushtail in the Tree

Woken by toes at two in the morning?






Pulling the fireplace apart for the Ringtail's escape out of our bedroom. We left a trail of apple out the window, then he was gone! Until next time ...




Meanwhile outside, son photographed spooky Brushtails. If you want to see what they actually look like see HERE and HERE.

They are okay for when sleep walking Simon! No thanks, we still like having them around even if our sleep is sometimes robbed :)

Stop laughing - I'm tired! Of course I am human Modroom, didn't attack IT!

simon said...

Yes! I used to love them too until they took up residence in the roof and then made a mess!

They still visit us with their babies for an evening feed of apple and carrot... sometimes they come and eat the dog food ( with the dogs!)

true! :o)

Oh Ces, you don't know what you're missing out on. Your Husband should get it together before Valentine's Day reaches your way ;)

Good boy Simon *WOOF*!

You should put little 'no entry' signs for the Ringtails to see.

OH,hehehhe, how creepy to have those claws sneaking out at you.

Everyone has changed their avatars, I don't recognize anyone!

They weren't 'sneaking' Perriette! They were thrashing, ripping, clawing in unison with ploppy sounds like a fish doing a high dive into a fishbowl! In fact, at first we always think our giant oscar fish has escaped - now he WOULD eat us!

This is ME ANON Perriette!

I knew someone would pick up on that animal in the bedroom comment. Hahaha!

So you are being haunted by strange creatures with luminous eyes?

Have I got that right?

Caroline said...

Luminous multi-coloured eyes.

Baino said...

Haha . classic, at least you didn't have a sooty chimnney . . we had a dove fall down the chimney once and were very grateful for the fire grate or we'd have had soot splatter eveywhere. They're gregarious little brushtails, that's for sure.

Happy-V-Day Albina with no mention of animals in the bedroom :)

Hhehhee yes Caroline, and they are spookier than Hellcats!

Haahaa, classically becoming regulars Baino! We have to check for wildlife before toasting marshmallows in Winter. Yes it's an advantage having a fireplace without soot ;)
