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

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. :)
ReplyDeleteCoco 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)
DeleteCocoa has a playmate. That's adorable. It's always interesting when new pets enter a home. Someone has to be the alpha.
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks fantastic and so much better than the canned stuff.

Thanks Sam - When Coco is excited, she turns in circles and when the ferrets come out she looks like a propeller.
DeleteLove 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/
ReplyDeleteI'll head over to her blog next.
DeleteI think I see in the future a blog staring Coco, Roscoe and Mitchell...
ReplyDeleteyup, that looks like one fine bowl of soup, hardy and good for you
Thanks Drick - We're enjoying the soup. I'll have to asked Coco if she wants to start a blog and see if she can type.
DeleteWhat great new playmates coco has!! I'm sure there will be many a stories while they are staying with you... looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteAnd the soup looks so warm and comforting!! Chicken noodle has always been one of my favorites!
Thanks Jenn - the soup is my dad's recipe (which is a little bland) which Bev kicked up with additional spices and herbs.
ReplyDeleteLarry, 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
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave - they are a hoot to watch, but the ferret hasn't learned to take his part with Coco yet.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like there are going to be some interesting times ahead in the pet department. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHow do you have time to tour Europe and read blogs? Color me impressed. :-)
ReplyDeleteNow this looks like fun! Dogs and ferrets - awesome! Your soup looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFerrets are odd little guys, aren't they? My nephew has one. It's good seeing Coco get her buddy back.
