There is a new game gaining in popularity on farms across America. That game is Peppermint Soccer. Here on Bee Haven Acres we have one of the country's premier players.....Tom Tom, the Omnipresent! He plays every position...in fact, he is a one cat dynamo.
Each morning when I arrive at the barn, I am greeted along the driveway by Tom Tom. He races into the barn and up onto the workbench....begging for his breakfast. Once that is consumed, he is off on an adventure. This morning's adventure was Peppermint Soccer. Amazingly, this game kept him occupied for at least a half hour....more that enough time for me to snap a few action pictures.
Score!!! He takes it down the field and into the goal...right under the trash can.
Don't worry, Tom Tom.....there are lots more soccer balls where that one came from. And apparently, Tom Tom knows how to get one out of there! Just please save some for the horses. It's their favorite treat.
Yum......King Leo peppermints are the best! And they make perfect little soccer balls!
- Hunt Week ~ Day 2
We hunted up another picture of Charybdis. Charybdis was very good at hunting soccer balls. The beans would release the soccer ball into the air and Charybdis would run and capture it, proudly carrying it back to the beans. For some reason...

Lord Epa displaced his patella at soccer practice Thursday. They had to call an ambulance to take him to the ER. I was very impressed with the EM-T's and the hospital staff at Ocean Springs hospital. They did their best to make sure Lord Epa was...

Since we are in the midst of relocating to full time life at the farm, Hubbs often asks me if I think I might get lonely without having people around during the day. How can a gal be lonely when she always has a companion? No matter what the chore, Tom...

Amazingly, this game kept him occupied for at least a half hour....more that enough time for me to snap a few action pictures. He may look as if he is lying around...but believe me, this was a raucous game...and he was not still for more than a second. This picture was caught as he was rolling on the ground and batting the peppermint all over the floor.
Ah! Finally caught the elusive peppermint soccer ball..... Wait, he throws the ball back onto the field and once again it's in play.....Don't worry, Tom Tom.....there are lots more soccer balls where that one came from. And apparently, Tom Tom knows how to get one out of there! Just please save some for the horses. It's their favorite treat.Yum......King Leo peppermints are the best!
