Hi everyone! Sorry it's been such a while for a post, but I have been prowling about : ).....
The adventures of my fluff bear, Daisy ( a.k.a. Miss Determined Daisy, a.k.a The Beastling), have been many and have all gone undocumented. The title of the post is a nod to a hopeful series of mini-stories I'm in the midst of writing.
So, with out any further ado I will regale of Daisy's waddley wanderings.
The parents were out (so the mini-stoves in the sitting rooms were unlit). I and my brother therefore decided to treat Daisy to an epic free run about the sitting rooms. She waddled here and there, pottered excitably under everything....legs were clambered up, cushions thoroughly investigated, corners huffed and chair cushions squished under.
OH. THE. DELIGHT.
The utter joy of it all!
Until.....I left the room.
Briefly.
With my brother still in hamster attendance.
I came back with some snacks (for Daisy, not me or my brother!) and rattled the bowl......There was a flurry of excited chirrups from some where in the room. But no Daisy.....
I rattled the bowl again. More, even more chirruping! Still no Daisy!
My brother and I peered under everything, pull apart everything AND still no Determined Daisy.
Until we heard in the direction of the fireplace, a soft scuffling......followed by an excited hammy ''Puff puff GUFF PUFF!'' Where every she was, it was thoroughly interesting!!!!
The fireplace is blocked with a small Stanley Stove, placed inside the hearth. Yet there remains a substantial gap at the back, which is blocked with insulating panel.This has a crescent gap surrounding the flue of the stove.... The hearth grating also remains behind this, as well as cinders and ash......
Some how, some way, Miss Determined Daisy had manged to get her self in-behind the stove paneling.....inaccessible to us and unable to clamber back out!!
My heart! My brothers heart!
As we set about freeing her, the happy sound of Puffing and Snuffling continued, unperturbed by her humans distress. Eventually, we broke the panel........: 0
With the panel well and truly broken, my hearth hammy, more ash and dust then hamster, waddled merrily out into the sitting room.....oozed her way into my lap....
And plunged her face into her treatie bowl.
