Better Days

I'm pleased to report that after my tummy problems on Saturday night I'm now feeling much better - I have to admit things were a little uncomfortable there for a bit but all is now forgotten and its back to our usual routine.

Its been a funny old week - lovely sunshine one moment and then hail and wind the next. But I think spring is around the corner as Lou Lou and I saw the first swallow skimming over our field this week, which means that the warm weather must be on its way. We have noticed that there are some old swallow's nest amongst the beams in our stables so we are wondering if we are going to be sharing our accommodation before too long. Hopefully they will be quiet as Louise likes her beauty sleep - in fact when we had to wait up for the vet the other night she had to have a lie down while we were waiting as the photo shows - no staying power (now do I really mean that -what will be her distance in time I wonder?)

The grass is growing (which was a factor in my tummy problems) which means there is lots for us to eat in the field and the whole valley is looking green, and spring is putting a spring #9quite literally) in our step. Now Lou Lou has really perked up and was quite naughty one evening this week and didn't want to come in. She was messing around in the field and kept wandering off when The Vickster tried to put her headcollar on. Now The Mrs got really fed up with this and, as I already had my collar on and was waiting patiently by the gate, she told The Gaffer and The Vickster to take me on out of the field and off to stables. Now while I was doing this Louise was walking off in the other direction and eating and didn't notice what had happened. Then a couple of minutes later she turned round and noticed that I was gone and was ready to walk out of the gate in the next field - well you should have seen her - she was furious at being left behind and rushed up to the fence and made a fuss. The Mrs was very firm with her and put on her headcollar and made her walk in slowly and without rushing - Lou Lou really was not amused! I don't think she'll be trying that again - talk about calling her bluff!!!!

Happy days - Thelma
