    Piggy is five :)

    My dearest dreadful Pig is five (well, yesterday)! And is now old enough to know better, theoretically, although nobody has told the Pig that yet :rolleyes: She hasn’t had a present, because I didn’t have time to order anything but will save up a collar credit perhaps 😆 she did find a sheep leg...

    Flea and tick treatment

    I have always just taken whatever the vet surgery gives us for the Pig, which used to be an advantix spot on treatment (I think that was what it was called) but recently they changed to a tablet called easecto by mipet. I find the tablet much easier and less messy - the Pig used to shake as soon...

    Advice for first viewing of litter

    Before we get excited, it is not for me! My mum and stepdad are going to see a litter of red fox labradoodles today. They are already 8 weeks old. Any advice on what to check and look out for when they are there? They will be there in an hour or so, I’ve only just heard about it! Pups’ mum and...

    Teeth chattering

    The Pig is getting on absolutely fine with two-leggy Willow. After initial overexcitement and a bit of nervousness with her noises, she now ignores her the majority of the time and occasionally wags her tail at her and gives her a passing lick. I never leave them together unattended though, even...

    The Pig meets Shot and Game

    We went to the Pig’s gundog class on Sunday which was an introduction to shotgun, starter pistol and live and dead game. Was all new to us so thought I’d write it up here. It was in a stubble field of corn. I wasn’t sure how the pig would react to shot, so I made sure we were far away at the...

    Sheep!

    So, it is looking likely that in the next 4 months or so we are moving to a Victorian farmhouse in Snowdonia! Which is very exciting (and y’know, clearly the best time to make a big house move is with a new baby ;) ) but what fills me with horror is the abundance of sheep in the surrounding...

    The Pig at daycare

    The Pig goes to daycare every Tuesday, it’s a couple who live on a small farm and the dogs have the run of the house and the farm yard and a paddock. Normally I am at work but now as I am on maternity leave I get to see her get picked up and dropped off and get a little report on her day. And I...

    Happy Birthday to the Pig

    She was three yesterday! She had a peanut butter Kong and her daddy gave her a birthday egg with her breakfast. We took her to play swimmy fetch in the evening as a treat. She was funny, she could tell it was her special day and got way too excited after coming back from swimming and was up...

    Bringing me things

    I am so glad that I have trained the Pig to give me things for a kibble. I was thinking it was counterproductive because she was sometimes hunting around for things to bring me which was annoying when you’ve been handed your flip flops, an oven glove and a gardening glove whilst trying to watch...
