Furry Friday on Saturday... In Loving Memory

SIMI 

was Welshcakes Limoncello's dog from 19 December 1998 to 8 January 2015

she was the most beautiful dog in the world and even though I never met her she will be missed by me...

Wasn't she gorgeous..?

Nobody could ever replace Simi but Bertie-Pierre came from the local rescue centre down the road in Bagheria, which is somewhere in Sicily...

Hasn't she got lovely eyes?!

(Welshcakes quote: "Bertie-Pierre is a girl. Oops!")

WISHING A FANTASTIC WEEKEND TO Y'ALL...!

Fat, Furry Dormice for the Weekend...

I HAVEN'T BEEN BY LATELY because I've been too busy composing my work of Great Literature..! Which is not a memoir. And not about drugs in any way... (Wow!) It's a children's book. More details (if) and when it's finished...

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Anyway here's some little furry animals for Furry Friday on Saturday...

A fat dormouse...

(Latin name: Glis glis.)

... Also named the edible dormouse, as the Romans originally imported them to the British isles as a tasty rodent snack!

This one looks more like an American grey squirrel...

A common or hazel dormouse... isn't he cute!!

Latin name: Muscardinus avellanarius.

This is the only dormouse species indiginous to the UK...

... with big glittery black beady eyes!

And quite tame!

... when winter comes he gets very sleepy indeed!

(The name comes from the French dormir, to sleep... il dort...

... WISHING Y'ALL A VERY FURRY WEEKEND INDEED!
