Monty is holding his own at the momenmt, there is still some quality of life there so I think he has a few more weeks, will keep everyone informed.As I type this he is out in the front lying in the sun, Tara will not be far away from him.
This morning I went to try and catch a cat and kitten who have made an amazing home in the recess of a wall above a garage! The mum is most likely feral and her secret home would not have been discovered had one of the babies not sadly fallen out of the"nest" to be discovered by the home owner. Unfortunately there was no sign of her, but I have alerted the neighbours and hope someone will spot them so we can set up a trap and have the mum spayed.
The last of the ponies have arrived from Cheshire.Heather and her 3 weeks old foal Paddy are now in a foster home locally.Yesterday went to see them and was happy to see that they seem content and unfazed by their journey from Cheshire to Gwynedd, and their new surroundings. We seem to be inundated with shetland ponies at the moment,I really need to try and find some homes for them.Fortunately there are quite a few homes for equines in this area but not everybody wants shetlands.They can be prone to laminitis and often need restricted grazing to keep them healthy. many calls I receive are from people who want riding horses but most of our animals are not suitable to be worked in any way.
There are so many jobs to do here, I wish we had a handyman, someone who could do some fencing etc. the girls here do their best but I will have to try another advert in the local paper, I dont want these jobs to go into the winter, they need to be done now whilst we have some decent weather.
Had a cat in today in very poor condition, a lovely black and white with a happy nature but so very thin, will need to take her to vet tomorrow, try and find out of she has an underlying problem
