25th June 2009
Last night Johnny brought home a bigger box for the chicks. The reason for this is because we lost another chick the previous night. It’s terrible. You go to bed and they are all happy, chirping and then the next morning you find a limb body which has expired! So for those of you who are doing the math, it’s down to six now. Johnny and I thought the last chick was trampled to death and hence the bigger box. Ingrid is ordering the four replacements and I should be collecting them Tuesday. The guinea pig and the chicks were moved to the laundry now that Spot is outside. I finally have my dinning room free of animals. Miss Alice (the guinea pig) is doing so well. She’s piling on the pounds and is healthy and round. She is so cute. We have a conversation every morning and during afternoon tea while I’m getting her food ready. I have made a dentist appointment for Friday. I’m such a baby when it comes to the dentist chair but I’m afraid there’s no getting away from this one. My tooth is aching and I can’t leave it any more.
Johnny contacted David again to enquire about the heifers. David says the bull doesn’t even sniff at her so she must be pregnant. I wish there was a better confirmation but there’s nothing we can do about it. The hopefully three pregnant heifers will arrive on the weekend if all goes to plan which is wonderful. At last Johnny will have his Dexter cows.
The day is really overcast and grey and I’m not very motivated to do much. Hopefully it warms up too as I’m freezing cold.
