Orla (pt II)

We met up with Orla and her carer Katie earlier this month.

Orla looked well and we exchanged ottery gossip (I didn't have much as I never do anything fun these days except for sitting on the shelf wearing a green sombrero). She told me all about the holiday she had in France last year and promised to send photos.

So here they are.  Brace yourselves - they're good.

Orla chooses to fly Easyjet and always has her boarding pass to paw, plus she's very safety conscious, and sits with her seat belt fastened at all times.

It can be a bit daunting for a little otter travelling abroad and waking up in a strange place.  What if they don't speak Otter there?  Fortunately, Orla's travelling companions make sure she gets lots of love and reassurance.

Obviously it's not long before Orla takes to the water - and has a good towel down afterwards.

After all that activity, it's definitely time for lunch - and a drop or five of the local plonk.  We heartily approve of your choice of rosé, Orla.

Afterwards, it's time to mingle with the locals.  I think if you speak Otter, you can probably get by in Badger.

Nice work Orla, and thanks to Katie for the lovely snaps.

Ottermus Prime

Welcome to brand new otter, the superbly named Ottermus Prime!

We have a sneaking suspicion here at Fuzzy Towers that we're going to be seeing a lot more of this little one . . .

I'm just off to see if I can find a champagne cork to ride like a rocket too.

Chabas (pt VII)

Eric (pt II)

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - it's getting chilly.
 
Eric is way ahead of all of us with his incredibly stylish woolly hat - and we hear he's also bugging his carer Ilona to put the heating on. 

That otter!

Chabas (pt VI)

Chabas has a boozy lunch in Palma de Mallorca!

Chabas (pt V - A Heart-Warming Tale)

One day, Chabas was feeling a deep nostalgia for his creator.

He felt so strongly, he wrote it again.  This time in Arabic.

His colleagues were concerned.  They tried to cheer him up.

They even offered him chocolate.

But nothing would comfort him.

So his kind carer Lucy smuggled him to the UK in her bag and secretly brought him out for the evening to a place where Sarah would be.

Chabas and Sarah were reunited at last.

Orla

Meet Orla.

How completely awesome is Orla?

She has gone to live with Katie, who tells us:

'(This is) Orla, kicking back as she sneaks in a practice for her silent disco set in the rather spectacular barn at Fair Oak 40 Fest, 2014. She didn't fancy the brunch, even though I told her about the delicious smoked salmon.

I love her. Finding out she is also a dj has only strengthened the bond, although otter music takes a little getting used to. Bit fishy.'

Ray Lee Otter

Ray Lee Otter (get it?) was adopted by Ilona for her friend Staci.

After a shaky start where he was caught  'eating Staci's birthday cake and nicking her wine' he turned things around nicely by visiting Staci's chum in hospital with a bunch of red roses.  Good boy.

Otter

One of our otter chums has moved to Westchester County in New York!

We're not sure what his name is (maybe he's an anonym-otter) but he's been hanging out with new pal Jack (who apparently likes to put Otter's tail in his mouth).

Luke Talks To The Animals

Luke is quite possibly the busiest otter ever.  I think he might be angling for his own blog and may even have his own agent by now for all we know.

He's been making friends with Heidy's new bunny, Dorian.

 

 And also snacking with Dorian and neighbouring beaver Tuluk.  We are loving this cute photo.

Augustus And The Sleeping Bag

Augustus has been spotted getting into young Theo's sleeping bag!

He might be practising for the festival season.

Luke & The Tattoo Convention

Wowee!  It looks as if Luke is a very busy and adventurous little otter, as we've just received some quite astounding pics of him at a tattoo and piercing convention in Dortmund, Germany.

I think he managed to avoid getting tattooed and pierced but he did make a lot of friends. 

"So here I am at the convention"

All eyes on Luke . . .

"Shall I get my face painted like this lady?"

She definitely needs a Luke tattoo on that arm

Oh, Luke!  You are a one!

Ding dong! Luke is a real ladies' otter

JJ Abrams - we think you need another Luke in the new Star Wars movie

"So. . . it's a toss up between a clam on my tummy or fish on my bum . . ."

And finally, here is our favourite, favourite picture.

Luke, you are our hero.

Thank you to Heidy for taking Luke out on such a fun day and for all the brilliant pictures.
