Tasty...or perhaps not...?

This could very well be yet another one of those "oh-I-just-love-snow-pictures". But in fact the cold brings something else appart from snow to lick off...it freezes the cat-turds and somehow enhances their flavour! Wow...rather like a cat-turd-ice-cream!

Is there a market I wonder?

Update on Fred

It is with a heavy heart that I post this blog to let you know that we had to let Fred go this afternoon. Even after 24 hrs of intensive nursing with physio Freds rear left leg remained paralysised, he was unable to stand unaided or walk, so we took the heart braking decision to let him go and suffer no more. We will miss his carefree attitude and love of pinching food that was any where near his reach!! We have only owned him for 6 years but they where filled with great memories to treasure… Continue

Freds hospitalisation

Poor old Fred has landed at vet hospital thanks to Charlie - had been out to hairdresses and when I returned gave both boys a jumbone, Charlie ate his first and decided he wanted the rest of Freds (think hes trying to be top dog) he pounched on Freds back and has damaged Freds spinel nerves and he has lost control of his rear left leg. Off to the vets and they are keeping him in to give physio therapy on his leg over night and hopefully in the next 24hrs he will improve, just fingers crossed… Continue
