Old Gran Jacrapara!!...............and the adventures of Tidils!!!   Old Gran Jacrapara is 76, she lives in a small house made out of mud and bricks. It has a black chimney and on a cold night like tonight the smoke puffs out of the little chimney.  The house is built in the back yard of her son’s lush estate and surrounded by large old oak trees that swing and sway from side to side when the wind blows through the night.   Gran Jacrapara’s home is not easily visible from the main house and you have to walk down a small dark rocky path, it's approximately 400m’s to get to her little red gate. the gate is covered in bushes and shrubs.   Her grandchildren do not come to visit her as often as they should, to tell you the truth they think she’s mad because their father told them this.  He didn't want them bothering her, so he made up a story that Old Gran Jacrapara was a mad old witch.   But Old Gran Jacrapara is indeed a funny little old women with a huge imagination and to keep herself company she has over time gathered many pets.   This is the adventures of Tidils her black and white cat, told by old gran Jacrapara.  One night while she was sitting and knitting, her pets were curled up on the floor in front of the fire place and some were stretched out on the couch next to her, to pass time, she started to tell a story while she knitted.............................

Tracey's Story......................

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking back at the body of the man she had just killed. Her face showed no emotion as she sat there staring blankly at his body. Why did he do that to her? How could he continuously do this to her? The questions danced around in her head. Tracey closed her eyes and tried to push the images out of her mind. If only for a second she could have peace, that was all she asked, that was all she wanted and that was all she needed. Peace and quiet just for a short while, maybe a minute or even a brief fraction of a second, just to escape the trauma she had experienced.

This privilege Tracey would not experience, she could hear the police cars’ sirens getting closer and closer as they neared her home, the neighbors lights were on, they had reported the screaming once again, as they had done so many times before.  She knew that it would only be a short while before the police would come barging through her door. But this time it would be different, this would be there last visit to 139 West Street!

Tracey dropped the blood stained knife on the floor. She walked down the stairway and out onto the pavement and waited for the police to arrive.

Not everything on my blog is based on my pets.  My son recently made this go-kart of sorts. Not bad at all, considering he drafted his own plans and made this from scratch.

For a short while I had two geese, these two fellows were quiet tame.

Unfortunately it gets so hot here in Johannesburg, South Africa that I give my Chow Chow's a lions cut.  Shame they do look a bit naked! but it really does help keep them cool.

Cheeky

Have some fun and watch this little clip of a happy piggy eating his lunch!!

Versailles

We took the train to Versailles, the train cost 11.20Euros per person. There are different options at Versailles, you can see the whole ground's and the rates differ.  We chose to see only the palace.  It cost 15 Euro, my son's paid youth rates. We had a light lunch inside the palace which was very nice. There are also kiosks with various souvenirs to purchase.

I'll just sit here for a minute and rest.

Oh dear, were all my food go!! I do so love to eat. Wish they would give me a bigger bowl!!

Hallo all, it's Cheeky here again.

Sometimes the only way to beat the winter cold nights is to snuggle up under all my blankies.

I so wish the summer would come...............



Hallo all,
Its time again for my visit to the vet. I have to take short trip in my owners car to the vet to have my nails or hooves clipped.  I don't particularly like the car trip as I sometimes get motion sickness.  But I really don't like the vet at all. However it is important to have my nails/hooves trimmed. If I don't get them trimmed I struggle to walk. So my owner is kind enough to have this done.  I will make sure some photos are posted of my vist to the vet.  Keep a look out for these.

Every morning, I take a stroll in my garden, I like to investigate, and see whats what.  Keep trek of the cats activities.  For those of you who don't know who I am I will take the time to tell you. I'm Cheeky, I,m not just a potbelly pig, or as I once heard the vet say a "knee high", I mean really what would he know about me. Seriously I am a pig that knows my stuff. I own a truffle farm in the foot hills of the Drakensberg mountains. Yes! there really is such a place, Google it if you don't believe me. I don't go the my farm all that often, but I do have a number of little worker bees that keep all business on track. I am far to busy with my other interests and from time to time I will share my adventures with all of you.  In between my stories I will post  interesting facts. 

Don't be shy, give me some feedback..............
