Morning everyone.
Hello Cassie - bet that water was WARM!! Glad you have found somewhere to let you check in, but dont forget you are supposed to be there on holiday, not tied to LB.
Well my yesterday evening went all to pot - in the nicest possible way, but it meant that I was just dashing to and fro to check on Suzie and no time to post. Tea time saw the arrival of g/daughter DD and partner Kym, plus the two JR terriers that used to make up our tribe of dogs. They are here for 3 or 4 days for a visit which is brilliant from my point of view because life becomes so full of love and laughter when they are around - just what we all need right now! It is 6 months since DD and little JR Charlie last made it here to Wales and even longer since Kym and Tidsy travelled up, so great greetings all round between all of us (of course) but also between my M and her favourite boy, Charlie, and Tidsy and Mrs Nest (Tidsy's Mum - Mrs Nest and Charlie are Tidsy's parents), they were so glad to see each other again, but Charlie and Tids soon disappeared off across the fields for an hour or so, obviously re-checking out the whole farm, just to make sure nothing had changed! LOL!! They also managed to remember NOT to chase the cats, something that they are both extremely bad about since moving to Dorset. During the evening it was really strange watching how the dogs all settled back into their old 'evening routine' - Charlie popped straight on to his chair and dived under the blanket kept on it, Tidsy and her Mum went and laid on the doggy duvet in front of the old rayburn with Tids flat out on her back and Mrs Nest gently cleaning her face and her ears - motherly love and all that! M just sprawled out on the floor right in the path of anyone wanting to get from one end of the room to the other. It was all very relaxing! The humans enjoyed a hastily put together meal and then we got out the cards and played for the rest of the evening - lots of argueing/cheating/underhand dealings/laughter etc etc as they drunk their way through a bottle of Sherridans amongst other bits/dregs from several other bottles (not me with the pills I'm on at the moment) - wonder what time they will all wake up this morning? LOL!!
So the routine for the next few days has been set - plus it looks as though the weather is going to be kind to us as well, warmth and sun promised, so am hoping that the 'extra workforce' can be persuaded to do a couple of hours each day helping with some outside 'clearing up' jobs, plus getting Kym, who is brilliant with electrics, to climb up on the barn roof and fiddle with our tv aeriels which seem to have loosened themselves in the high winds we have had lately - she fixed them all up there for us in the first place!
Now to the lovely Suzie. Not sure what has happened over my night time, but from all the droppings it does look as though she has been in her stable all day - naughty Nathen should have been picking up for her, grrrrrrr! Has the weather been terrible? Who has been watching while us lot in the Northern Hemisphere have been sleeping?? Can anyone say what is going on. Sorry Cassie, not wanting to worry you, plus Suzie doesn't seem concerned by being stabled, but just hoping that she has been having lots of extra food while she's in. Just wondering what has been going on????
Sorry for the long post, but as I said, posting might be a little lacking for a couple of days at the moment - but I will still be 'watching'
Hope you are all ok - plus hope the kiddies who are/were not well are feeling better now.
Have a great day all of you!
vinaka = thankyou
