New Residents At Almost Heaven South & Chicken Noodle Soup

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you may remember that our granddaughter Madison, who went by Alex then, lived with us for a year and at nearly 15, she has returned to bring some excitement to our life.  It has always been important to her to have a pet to love and for some reason she has this strange desire to have ferrets and since we are pet people, we ok’d her getting a couple.

Their names are Roscoe and Mitchell – she has always come up with unusual pet names.  While they may be furry little pets for Madison, to Coco, the puppy, they are playmates and she goes wild when Madison gets them out.  One of them actually seems to enjoy the playing except we’re afraid Coco will injure him when she gets his body in her mouth.  Here they are hard at it.

Coco was Madison’s pet last time around and they are still special friends – she’s watching over her while sleeping.

Madison grew up believing Campbell’s Chicken Noodle (you know the watery stuff with a couple pieces of chicken and a counted out number of noodles) represented good soup and I was surprised when she wanted our homemade version.  Now this is chicken noodle soup.

I'm now responding to your comments and hoping you will stop back by - photos best if enlarged by clicking on them.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  1. ohmy ... you do have a new household full of energy. I simply can-NOT imagine what my dogs would do if a ferret were to enter this house. Little Zia nearly has a heart attack when the squirrel comes close in the yard. Man that chicken noodle soup sounds good. :)

    1. Coco chases squirrels, etc, but now I wonder if she just wants to play with them. The soup is delicious - we're still eating on it (made about 8 quarts)

  2. Cocoa has a playmate. That's adorable. It's always interesting when new pets enter a home. Someone has to be the alpha.

    Your soup looks fantastic and so much better than the canned stuff.

    1. Thanks Sam - When Coco is excited, she turns in circles and when the ferrets come out she looks like a propeller.

  3. Love that soup, but I have a feeling our Daisy would not be happy with a ferret for a friend. She chases chipmunks. By the way Daisy has a blog and is a follower of yours. Hee hee. Here's the link.http://justadogslife.blogspot.com/

  6. Thanks Jenn - the soup is my dad's recipe (which is a little bland) which Bev kicked up with additional spices and herbs.

  7. Larry, Say Hi to Madison for us! It will be nice seeing her again. Her furry buddies certainly help keep things lively! If Coco plays with one of the ferrets as cutely as he does with the cat, it should be a hoot... FYI...that's some fine looking chicken noodle soup! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  8. Thanks Dave - they are a hoot to watch, but the ferret hasn't learned to take his part with Coco yet.

  12. Ferrets are odd little guys, aren't they? My nephew has one. It's good seeing Coco get her buddy back.
