Spot the Dog.



Yesterday the two remaining pigs still had not touched their food - a sure sign something serious is going on. The vet came out, took the temperature of one which was normal, the other pig did a runner, broke through his enclosure and hotfooted it up the horses field.He was rounded up and returned to his own field, very bad tempered at this disruption to his daily routine and the indignity of being herded back. Today both pigs are back to normal, eating happily and behaving, well, like pigs.
Today was too hot for the animals but great for me, I can stand any amount of hot weather but the dogs on particular found it hard going;Pictured above Molly trying to find somewhere cool to lie in the garden.First choice was the Weeping Willow but that for some reason proved unsatisfactory to her, so she then went to the top of the garden(its on two levels) and settled down under the tree.
Two new female rabbits arrived today, only 6 months old they are Lionhead rabbits(i will post a picture tomorrow) and they are getting on fine with little Earl the neutered male so he has company at last, the only problem is finding a home willing to take on three and one of the new ones has a problem with her teeth which grow at a fantastic rate and need trimming every 8 weeks.
Donald and Dennis Ducks went today - to my neighbours who live next door(no, not the nasty one) They will join a couple of geese and hens and will have their own pond.I was becoming very fond of them and was beginning to work out where i could build a pond and secure a safe area for them so I am glad they have gone to someone I know will care for them .
It has been a very quiet weekend for cats , nothing rehomed at all although someone did visit and promise to return tomorrow with his wife.Heres hoping they do.I spent a few hours tidying up the yard, pulling up the grass growing between the concrete, a boring, backbreaking task but it looks so much tidier .Roy, the manager of the Caernarfon charity shop turned up and helped which made the job easier.He has promised to paint the tractor which is looking very old and shabby so if you are reading this Roy, Im holding you to that!
