Default skunks & meerkats

i often tell people, that snuff likes her car trips out, and travels mostly on the back parcel shelf unless she has come forward for a cuddle

but its always been hard to get pics, normally once i stop the car, she knows she gets to come out, so is up and off the shelf and waiting on the back seat to come out (she gets miffed if we have stopped for petrol, as she does not get to come out lol.. she comes and stamps and huffs on the shelf then, glaring at me stood outside the window!!)

and trying to takes pics, whilst driving, is not always very easy!!! especially when she is behind you!

so after showing rory how to work the camera the other day, whilst out on gremlin runs, i finally managed to get some pics!

as you can see.. she is quite relaxed and chilled out !! had forgotten how wet it was that run! this was going through Wales tho, so its hardly suprising it was raining lol..







and a short video clip, scuse the focus, the camera was struggling a bit!



i do get people pull alongside and wave and smile.. never sure if they are people who may have seen her pics on the www, or if they are just general people enjoying seeing her, when i stop for petrol tho, its not uncommon to come back and find she has an audience wanting to meet her!

meerkat pics and vid to follow in a bit!!

lol Si.. or a fat ferret yeah.. Elsie is starting to come on rides now too

(she is this one..)



anyway... just a few of the meerkats... i was trying to get one of the female yawning... took a while, but i did get one in the end! here tho, are some of the others i took

smile for the camera!



"hey, hon.. that daft human with the camera is back..."



"oh oh, best have a bit of a wash and brush up"



"ooh thats nice... up a bit.. down a bit..."



"ok, and now..."



"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn nnnnn"

(yey! i got it finally!!)



this last, is another short video, when i first went in the pen.. all was quiet, with the two asleep in their "den" which as you can see is a pile of concrete blocks with holes in, leading into a double story nesting chamber.. its amazing what you can do with some old paving slabs and a few blocks lol.. they seem to like it anyway!

the daft noise, is the sound i make to call them, they both know the call and come bombing out when they here it, they are not quite sure of the camera tho as you can see!

the background cheeping btw, is some chicks we are rearing for layers and the pot... noisy buggers they are!

you might just as well say the same to all the people who travel their dogs in the back seat, or boot..

if she was in a carry box, and i was in a crash situation, she risks being injured also, just as i would risk it too..

and needless to say, animals i carry for others, don't tend to run loose round my car.. could be a bit awkward getting a gecko out from under the seats, or a snake from within the paneling.. or a monkey from the arial mounting....
