Creatures in the Night

Early hours of the morning I could hear something going on downstairs.

On descending the stairs at 5.15am, I was shocked to find this laid

out on the floor under the table.

I assume Arnie was the the hunter as Jake was on the bed with me at the time.

My first thought was, are the chicks OK.

Yes both alive and well.

A few days later DH phones me to say Jake has come home with a stoat.

Go the cat patrol you have both earned your board and lodgings

this week.

Sad and Happy Day

On Monday the 4th Nov 2013 we had to farewell our Peter rabbit.

6 Jan 2008 to 4 Nov 2013

 For the past month or so we had been letting Peter out to free roam in

the garden.  Here he surrounded by the cats.

 Hanging out with Poppy.

On the night we farewelled Peter, I discovered the 2 eggs had

hatched that Snowtop had been sitting on.  We turned the rabbit hutch into a

chicken nursery and here she is with her two little chicks.

Spring is coming

Hard to believe it is August already.  

The sun has been shining today and all the animals have been enjoying it.

heater with Arnie and Poppy.

Update 2013

It has been months since I last updated this blog.

Casey turned 14 on the 10th March and is looking fit and well for her age.

 Here she is on her birthday.  

Both her brother Joe and sister Elle are still good as well.
