Tiny feet, tiny steps.

A tiny step into the big world

Today it was a big day for Miss Brown and her 2 tiny ones. 2 nervous chickens and an even more nervous mum ventured out of the barn for the first time together.

The very excited chickens did leave the safety of mums wings several time, but due to clear instructions never went further than her beak could reach, just in case an urgent pull back was needed.

The Chicken say: “Oh that was cool. Did you see it, did you, yes, I am sure you did, I caught an ant. Hmmm ants actually don’t taste good at all.”

MC Gorgeous has been asked to look into a childrens meny.

The cookbook

After reading news, the Model had noticed that all the cool places had their own cookbook. He admits that these places seem to have one thing in common, they served food, but actually we serve food here as well. So he thought he should make some easy bucks and write the damn thing himself, until his publisher informed him that his game cookbook by some might be consider barbaric, and that barbaric strangely enough was out. This didn’t concern the Model much; actually he was only glad, as that meant he had to delegate this amazing moneymaking scheme to somebody else.

He therefore paid his friends in the Pig Department a visit, and asked them what they thought about the project. After all, according to everybody, pigs do have more than a common interest in eating. The pigs thought the idea was splendid, and yes, who else would be perfect for the job? Off course they are not vegans, not even vegetarians, but to keep the cookbook political correct, they should only use their vegan recipes, and to make it even more political correct they should make it as close to 0-milage as possible. Still to bring in a wider audience they asked if it would not be a good idea to make their friends in the Hen Department, Geese Department and Cabbit Department a part of the project as well? They all agreed that this was an incredible good idea. The Model then went of to do some game cooking for himself, while Big Daddy and MC Gorgeous called the other departments in for a meeting.

No surprise there, but they all thought this was a top notch idea, and nobody could understand why they haven’t all ready done it. Off course they run into a tiny problem very shortly. It seemed that almost all the best vegan recipes weren’t actually vegan at all. After all what is a nice rose salad with out lice? Then one of the old local hen said that if local human consider anchovies as a condiment, well then, that is what a ladybird is! This off course made total logic, and they all rapidly agreed. Especially when one of the younger on, very preoccupied with environmentally studies informed the rest that leaving in the bugs will let everybody see that here they did not ruin the environment by using insectcide, but actually promoted a 100% biological alternative. All the writers were stunned. Nobody saw that coming, but they had just like that made the cookbook even more political correct.

The Model say: “The problem isn’t to get the cookbook written, it is edit it down to an edible size.”

The Primadonna is yet again looking down at the world.

Out of mourning

Ever since the Chief left us almost 3 years ago the Primadonna has been mourning her closest friend, mentor and on- and off boyfriend. Nothing could get her spirits up, and most of the time she has used on long solitary walk. Only occasional did she graze us with here presence, and than it wasn’t the old happy girl, but this sad gloomy girl wondering why the Chief had to leave her so early and thinking that she most likely would never be happy again.

Then one day the Primadonna pronounced that she had decided she was done mourning. She would off course always miss the Chief, but life actually felt good again. She would obviously never meet anyone like him again, but she needed to move on. After all that is what the Chief would have wanted, and truth be told, the fur always feel better after a good cuddle all over.

Primadonna say: “Oh, I still miss him like crazy, and I don’t think that will ever end.  I have come to the conclusion though that life goes on with out him, and so should I. Now, CUDDLE over here NOW please!”

The new door bell

New door bell

When the Hen department heard that the old door bell wasn’t doing that well and was planning to retire, they saw their opportunity to combine the need for a proper doorbell with their need for proper art. A beautiful door bell was picked out and immediately installed, and all the roosters claim they were the model for this wonderful peace of art, even the white frizzy one.

Sheppard say: “I don’t get this at all! Who needs a door bell at all when I am at duty?”

Weather forecast

Very windy indeed.

The dogs recommend you to please be careful so you don't blow away.

King Tiny protecting the Model against his stalker.

Wheres the stalker?

When King Tiny first heard the rumours about his incredible good friend and beloved mentor being stalked, he immediately cancelled everything on his (rather crowded actually) program to become the Models bodyguard. He has not (hardly at least) left his side afterwards. This seems very efficient as King Tiny has not yet seen any trace of the stalker.

King Tiny say: “Off course there was a stalker, my purrfect mentor would never make anything like that up. Still I have now watched over him for several ages, and that must have been very efficient indeed, as the stalker now seem to be scared away. It is tempting to go back to my normal program now, but what if the stalker then comes back? I’ll stay for a couple of more days, and then we will take it from there. The Models well being and safety is off course what comes first!”

New Chicks on the block

The happiness spread out through the Citizens when the news that Miss Browns 2 beloved egg had finally gone in to hatching. Soon everybody’s hearts went to their throats though, when the hatching seemed to go on forever and forever. The only thing to be heard was the tiny squeaks and the sound of tiny beaks repeatedly hammering against the eggshell. Then finally in the early morning 2 tired but very happy chickens finally broke out of their eggs.

Miss Brown say: “Isn’t these the 2 most perfect chickens you have ever seen?”

A wool cut

Two very happy sheep had finally got the spring temperature they had been longing for. Not only because they as everybody else off course prefer the wintertime to be left behind us, but also that it was finally time to get rid of the very thick winter clothing. It was time to pay the wooldresser a visit. After the visit the 2 friends were observed celebrating their fresh summer outfit by running and jumping around. Something they hadn’t done for a while, as the wintercoat had just been to warm and heavy.

Caffe say: “JUHUUUU I just love, love LOVE my new bæækini! So sorry, but I have to dash along. Latte and I were just to run around the old wineyard.”

Professor  Big Daddy showing propper sleeping techniques  to his promising student.

From Piggyschool

Big Daddy has gone back to school, but this time it is as a teacher. Big Daddy is a firm believer in proper education, so when he brought in the new assistant MC Gorgeous, he wanted him to get nothing but the very best education. Therefore he was immediately enrolled to the Maifrin Univeristy, the faculty of piggy business. Then to make absolutely sure that the education would be nothing but the very best, Big Daddy agreed to become a Professor.

Professor Big Daddy say: “With me in charge I think we can safely say that this little piglet will have the best education you could ever hope for.”

Weather forecast

The weather is highly unstable, but at least it is warm.

The dogs recommend you to be prepared for everything, just to be on the safe side.

The stalker

Lately, while going about life as normal, a certain Model seems to suspect that he is actually being followed. It is like whenever he looks in the corner of his eyes, there it is, something following his every move.

The Model say; “Well, it is not bloody surprising then, is there? Being the most handsome and friendliest chap ever, it was doomed to happen one day or another. Actually I am only surprised it didn’t happen earlier!”

The Sheppard in front of the Roman bath.

 The first bath of the season

Since sunny days are scares, everybody likes to take full opportunity of them. This includes the Sheppard, who while walking along for a more private walk, decided that this was it, it was time to start the lovely season of heat and cooling baths.  Therefore the beautiful lady popped into the first roman bath she passed by.

The Sheppard say: “My of my, that was a lovely feeling. Off course it would not have hurt if it had been a tad warmer.”

The walk

Lately you can safely say that the weather has not at all been on our side. This has led to an unfortunate muddy situation, and it is hard to find a proper mud free place to walk. So when the sun first arrives no citizen can be to choosey, and off we go for a joint adventure to the holy dandy lion lane.

MC Gorgeous say; “I don’t know why some of the other citizens seems to be a bit testy on the subject of sharing a walk, as long as they save all the dandy lions for me, I have no problems with this arrangement what so ever.”

Miss Flower with her first kids.

May this motherhen really have time to produce an egg?

The egging mystery

Unfortunately we are sad to pronounce that our beloved Miss Flower left us with out a trace Saturday, and we there for are to believe that an evil falcon took her away from us.

Therefor you can imagine our positive surprise when we found an egg in her private nest box 2 days later. This especially since the other hens was closed inn, and neither do they know about here secret nest box either. Unfortunately closer investigation did relieve that spite a close similarity, the eggcolor was not eggsactly the same tint, and the egg was 4 gr less than the original Miss Flower product. Off course if she has become invisible or turned into a ghost we admit to have no experience to what this might do to the egg production. Still, we are fairly earth connected in this area, and don’t actually believe that you can become invisible or that ghost can lay eggs, so we have started lean forward to the idea that the egg might have been placed there by a hen who actually knew about the nest, as she is raising her chicken right next to it. A certain mother hen will be kept under close observation through out the day.

Big Daddy say: “Let us be totally honest here, I do not at all care who laid the egg, what I do care about is the absolute shocking news that I haven’t had a single egg for days!”

Weather forecast

The morning mist disappeared only to reveal some evil looking clouds. The birds stopped singing and the rain started to fall.

The lumpfree area of Seniora

Good news

Seniora has been back at the vets for a final examination. The lump had actually gone. Most likely it was an infected fatlump. The vets think it was really lucky that she got that cold when she did, so she didn’t have an unnecessary surgery. Seniora herself was last seen marching off in to the sunset when her tail hold high.

Seniora says: “To be honest I am not really sure what that lump was about, but for heavens sake, an infected fat lump? Aren’t they aware that you actually need to have fat to get one of those?!”

Rising DJ sQuil

Good news

A poor tiny pig felt really bad. One of his feet suddenly started to swell up, and shortly after all his legs started to swell up. The poor DJ sQuil was feeling totally miserable, and even sometimes didn’t finish of his dinner. Good advice was hard to come by, as there isn’t much medical research done on minipigs. Still the vets went up to the task, and after a week on human antibiotics and aspirin he is now back in his normal good spirits, and swollen free trotters are back carrying him wherever he wants to go, normally the closest food source.

DJ sQuils say: “Oh my, it is so good to be back. I am sure, it was touch and go there for a while. I even lost my appetite, that’s how ill was! Now, can anyone direct me to the closest breadsource?”

The Sheppard looking out the perfect grass slide hill

Good news

After all most all the citizens (yes, the geese don’t seem to get the bad in bad weather!) have been terrorized by bad weather the last week, today finally there have been traces of something similar to god weather. The citizens weren’t long to que up to make the best out of this situation, and long walks have been observed all over the place.

Sheppard said: “JUHUUUUUU Grass sliding time! Nothing like the felling of sliding down a hill of long grass.”

The Pirat's graduation photo.

Good news

We are happy to announce that the Pirat has passed her hunting exam and hasn’t stopped hunting ever after. We are not sure if we are sad to say this, but insects need to be very careful to avoid the Pirat’s good eyes and sharp beak.

The Pirat say: “I am not really a killing machine, but those proteins sure do me a lot of good!”

Sun and clouds fighting

It is hard to say, hard to say. We are optimistic of nature then, so we are hoping the sun will outfight those nasty looking clouds.

ANNOUNCEMENT

BAD NEWS!

Now that yet another hen has passed her hunting exam we do as normal recommend all our members to flee the Maifrin area as fast as possible.

Remember our motto: “We like food, not to be food!”

This message was brought to you from The Lets Flee organization. 

Seniora took some incredible high points for this manoeuvre.

Bad weather cat chess

As you all know the Maifrin cat citizens are playing cat chess at the upper international level. They don’t let anything stop them practising this wonderful sport, not even bad weather (something that normally stops cats in the most ways). Off course everybody understands that with rain pooring down outside, it would be directly damaging for the cats to play with the normal rules, and they have instead changed to the special developed bad weather rules. The rules are more or less the same, but it is played over a much much smaller area.

Seniora say: “LOL and with this manoeuvre I outplayed both the Model and King Tiny completely!”

What the nest box should have been looking like.

A vandalized egg found near by.

Crime against egganity

It is with sadness that we must admit that a thief has been present in our nest. One of our favourite nests what broken into yesterday, and the thief didn’t only steel the egg, but also vandalised the whole area. Shattered pieces of eggshells was found all over the area afterwards. We think the last was an attempt from the thief to try to hide its track, but bad weather can be good for something, so the CSI (Chicken scene investigation) manage to secure several muddy pawprints, leading both to and away from the nest in question. The investigators are hoping for a fast solution on this unfortunate matter.

The Chicken investigator said: “The pawprints collected does indeed match one we all ready have in our database.”

 How blood works

Pending her upcoming surgery Seniora had her blood work done. The results was very promising indeed, stating what Seniora off course all ready knew. Her body might be old, but not particularly frail, as the result told her body was working just as well as a 5 years old.

Seniora gave the following official statement: “Nothing I didn’t all read know perfectly well!”

Seniora is ill!

Keep those get well snacks coming! Keep them coming!!
SENIORA IS ILL!

Today we have heartbreaking news for you.

Saturday evening our beloved Seniora told us about a lump in her tummy area, and therefore she was the first guest at the vets as soon as they opened this morning. The vets were not at all happy, and since Seniora is their absolute favourite citizen they even got a second opinion, but the news was equally bad. Seniora have gotten herself breast cancer.

Luckily she is in wonderful shape (especially consider her age) and she is in n pain. Still a surgery has been ordered for the 17/9 and blood work to be done the 11/9.

Seniora is now sleeping of a box of Applaws who we all agreed she needed, but manage to give the following statement before she started to snore: “I didn’t have a nice childhood, I had a hard life and now my plan about a long happy retirement have got a serious dent in it. Still in the meantime you all know where to send your get well applaws/sheebas/porta feline etc.”

Eh NOOOOO noooo nooooo I did not try to dig through that wonderful  looking fence. Not at all actually. 

What the fence!

Whereas some of the citizens seems content with all this fencing coming up, (read humans) it would be an understatement saying that the rest of the citizens are somewhat piffed by the offensive matters. The propaganda that has been going out, claiming that the fencing is for the citizens own protection doesn’t really seem to have hit its mark. Several anti-fencing groups have all ready been founded, and are working hard on a literally break through.

The spokespig of “My food doesn’t need fencing” had the following to say: “We pig are very social and we like to share the food with everybody. This fencing thing makes the food sharing thing very hard. We have all ready noticed that we can no longer share a meal with the sheep and hens. What will be the next, wont we be able to share with the geese either?”

The only cure for weather illness - SLEEPING

 Home sick my tail!

Lately a spell of bad weather has hit our beloved place, and it has hit too hard for most of the citizens taste. The cats have even moved back indoors, and are yet again mass sleeping in the bed.

The Model said: “You know, why o why does some weather responsible seem to think I miss living in the raining capital of the world! I do not! NOT NOT NOT NOT! If I still wanted to live in an area were it rained 320 days per year, at least 100 days in the row, WHY do they think I moved away from that hellish weather? I like my sun, I love my sun! Sun it is! Grrrrrrr all this rain makes my fur really icky. I can’t stand it anymore, please sun, what have they done to offend you, please forgive them and come back to me!”

A happy breaker

A certain citizen wishing the swallows welcome.

 Exotic guests

Nobody likes rains, at least not the citizens and not the swallows who paid us a visit last evening. The poor poor birds were stranded midair when this awful wet stuff come pouring down, and had to seek shelter immediately. Luckily Maifrin was right there (Except that we would off course have liked to be in the sun instead, we have to admit that.) and the poor swallows was off course immediately invited to stay and rest. Which they did. They were last observed flying south.

Mr Purr say: “I invited them to stay, but strangely enough they didn’t take me up on my totally and utterly unselfish offer. How very strange indeed.”

Seniora and a little one 

 The Childhood experience

Not all the citizens has had a wonderful childhood. Some of them would have been happy with only nice, but no. Therefore they all do their best to help the lucky fellows who are born/hatched right here at Maifrin to have to most wonderful childhood they can hope for. So when a little fellow need some extra attention, there is nothing but care coming from the older citizens.

The Sheppard say: “It is our responsibility to take care of those who need it the most. Can I have a puppy? PLEEEEEAAAAASE!!”

A not at all snooring DJ sQuil
Musical indifferences
Several hours before the evening was swallowed by the dark night yesterday, a gasp of utterly total disbelief spread out amongst the still awoke citizens, like a fire through very dry grass. It showed that Big Daddy and DJ sQuil had decided to spend the night apart. Not even the huge amount of fresh beddings could persuade DJ sQuil to spend yet another night with somebody with that complete lack of musical taste.
Big Daddy gave the following official statement as a result to this unfortunate episode: “I DO NOT SNORE!”

Mr Goose eating gresh gren outside the courtyard after climbing a stair.
Mr Hyde?
As you may recall upon, a while ago Mr Goose let to small female goslings move in under his care. The goslings have since grown and grown and grown even some more, and are today the most beautiful ladies Mr. Goose sees. Still the rest of the citizens can not but wonder about what the two rather desideful ladies have done to the proud gander. After the ladies joined him he has rather got the taste for fresh greens, long walks and climbing stairs. Rumour has it that he even started to sleep indoors.
Latte say: “I specifically mean to remember clearly that this was a goose free meadow.”

"GET LOST!"
Hot heat
It was only yesterday that it was freezing cold, but today the heat is finally warming not only every citizen’s heart, but also their bodies. Some even seem to think that the heat is just a tad to warm, and proper shadows seem to be rather crowded.
Often heard but not further noticed: “THIS SHADOW IS MINE!”

Catnap victim?
Catnapping
King Tiny had just but finished off his breakfast when he was rudely catnapped away from the eating area. This brought a lot of distress upon the poor victim, as he was just about to unselfishly help empty out the other cats’ breakfast bowls. Luckily the training lessons in catrate paid off, and just as the catnapper reach the 2^nd floor, King Tiny broke free, and speeded back to the kitchen. Just in time to help his fellow cat friends in need.
The “1 cat = 1 bowl” union gave the following official statement: “It was a good plan, but we need to find a better detention officer.”

Working on an escape route!
Wet
Two horrified dogs did not manage to escape a wet destiny, and was BATHED. This was not a pleasant welcome amongst the dogs but spite high vocal- and strong physical protests, the two poor poor things did not manage to escape from their awful wet and clean destiny.

A shocked Shaun trying to put words to his horrible experience!

Farm police

Yesterday the farm police called and told us they would pop by to check on the goat and sheep citizens. In the beginning this caused a lot of pleasure and happiness in the goat and sheep department. The panic first struck when they realized that they only had 10 hours to go through their list of “Improvement urgently needed” before the police showed up. Needless to say, some goat and sheep worked very hard for the rest of the day and the list got finished just in time for the police to arrive.

The 4 citizens were then deeply shocked when the police hardly looked at them, and than said they looked good and went to literally stamp his approval. Desperate times means desperate measures, and Shaun did what a desperate sheep has to do. He followed the police, refusing to leave his side, begging him to get back to the list, but it was all in avail. The police only petted his head and stated the obviously, that Shaun was the most beautiful boy. Shortly thereafter the police left with 4 sad citizens looking shell shocked.

The following was heard floating through the air: “WHAT ABOUT THE LIST? WHAT ABOUT OUR DEMANDS? WHAT ABOUT US?”

Young Miss Goose & Young Miss Goose was happy to meet somebody  which intrest they share.

Happy geese

After the sad demise of Mrs Goose, we have long waited for some new young ladies to move in with us. The day has now arrived, and Young Miss Goose and Young Miss Goose have now become proud citizens. Mr Goose is so happy, that he doesn’t at all mind being at the 2 young ladies continuous call. The young ladies are known for being very green at mind and just love hiking at the countryside.

Mr Goose say: “Have you seen them? Aren’t they just the loveliest girls you have ever laid eyes on? They are so smart! They are so clever!  They are going to grow up and be the best Geese ever. OH I am just so proud of them!”

Eggs no longer hidden.

 Egg hunt

Some think egg hunts is to be reserved for Easter. Some think egg hunting should be a whole year event. The hen department is a strong believer in the latter. There is nothing more amusing than looking at silly humans and dogs trying their best to locate the eggs. This is especially true for the days they get added extra bonuses as humans sliding down steep hills or a dog stepping on a thorn. No, just the thought of limiting this great entertaining only to one day of the year, what a ridiculous thought!

The Spokeshen say: “You know once I managed to hide 16 eggs before they were found. My of my, was that fun or what!”

Just follow the spring break rush.

Beauty really hitting of just the right spot at the party.

With spring finally with us, it is time for spring break. Therefore citizens of all size and colours have been observed partying wildly all over the hill side. The apple grove has shown to be a very popular spot, were everybody who wants to be seen… well can be seen. Geese and Goats are hugging down grass like nobodies business and cats are having a catrate tournament while the dogs are just hugging the best spots.
