Because of my dark sense of humour. I think this is hilarious that they buy a puppy when they’re about to be over run with puppies     . 

I will keep you all post on, when and how many     . Hopefully with some photos. 

I have a real soft spot for mum to be. She has wall eye . Like our beautiful old boy Seven. Who I  still miss very much.]]>  .

Well it's nearly 2 years since I lost my darling Stella but we have now taken the plunge again and rescued this poor little soul.

Say hello to Hetty, she's an 11 year old staffie cross.

She needs fattening up and a good bath!

He's is so timid that we canot get within 50 metres of him before he bolts, which is hearbreaking. The closest I've got is about 15m when he turned in at the bottom of the drive as I was walking down  - he fled so fast he fell down in the road   You have to wonder what has happened in his life to leave him like this.

We're working with a local charity and have decided the only way forward is to trap him as the weather is starting to get worse. Poor guy.
We've called him Didi and I still hope I might find him waiting at the feeding spot one evening. He rarely comes before dusk  - this picture was taken by the trail cam.

I've been leaving bits of clothing out that smell of me - tatty gloves and socks - all of which have been taken away, and he once brought us a ball!

So not exactly a pet, but an animal I worry greatly about.]]>

The horses are currently in our field. Didn’t really have to do anything with them other than take a rug off one of them. Breeze thinks he’s a horse     , he spends ages with them.

He’s a very vocal little fella, always has to have the last word.

He lives for his orange ball and he’s a bubble blowing water baby. Told you he was nuts    .

Yes, that's her in my bed - I swear she thinks she's human!

She also likes to play fetch:

Note that I did not teach her this - she just started doing it of her own accord so I could throw her toy again!

Maddie was diagnosed with diabetes at the end of July, but is doing well on her insulin and will no doubt continue to be an adorable pain in the butt for a few more years (she's coming up on 15, and Burmese are almost as long-lived as Siamese).]]>
