Pensioners in love!

I forgot to mention that Honey the foxhound has gone to the shelter which takes on problem dogs.I am waiting to hear how she is doing there.I still feel upset! It will be good once I know she has settled and even better to hear that she has been rehomed.I know in my heart she had to go once she started showing an interest in sheep, that would have literally been the death of her if she stayed here.Lucas the lurcher has found a home , cant believe that he has gone so quickly , he has gone to someone who took a 17 years old cat on a few months ago and today she rang to tell me the dog is doing fine. Thats great news, I think all shelter staff worry when their charges leave the safety of the sanctuary, its such a hit and miss affair, animals can react so differently according to their environment.
The sun is shining today, what a difference it makes to animals and humans, everywhere looks brighter, there are cats lying about the yard enjoying the respite from the seemingly incessant rain.The pigs are pottering about happily and the two old collies Monty and Tara are sunbathing outside the office.For once the horses are not waiting to come in to their stables so early in the afternoon, some have gone up the top fields and are out of sight, others are nodding off enjoying the warmth on their backs.
Above is a photo of dear old Noddy with his girlfriend Maggie, they really have formed a close bond now and share a stable together.The old couple are pictured coming in for their evening meal last night.Noddy has always been a hard one to photograph as his deformed legs can make him look very odd indeed, this funny little pony is an absolute treasure whom we all adore.I take it quite personally when people comment on his rather unusual appearance.I think he is gorgeous!Maggie also with her funny little box feet is a sweet little shetland.We call them the Lovers.
Its been a quiet weekend for rehoming animals, although the last of our kittens have now gone, perhaps people are enjoying the change in weather too much to visit us.
