Shiny Hats

Our house has a new hat, and this one’s all shiny.  Mummy says they’re called solar panels and they are going to both save her money and make her money – how good is that?

We’ve got Antlers!

Our Stagbar Antler Chews turned up today.  These are bits of red deer antler with marrowbone in the middle.  They are meant to be long lasting chews which also help to clean the teeth – lets see how long they last….

Zen and I got tucked in straight away, but our Cavie brothers weren’t quite sure what to do with them.

Here’s the link to a couple of videos of us enjoying ourselves:

Tick Tock Tick!

Mummy found a tick on me this evening – don’t know where it came from as we don’t have any sheep round here and we don’t normally get ticks.  In the past she’s always used a tick remover, but she saw a video a few weeks ago about making the tick so dizzy that it just falls out, jaws and all, so decided to give it a go.  It actually worked much better than a tick remover…  Here’s a link to the video:

Swimming Lessons

As we didn’t go to the show yesterday, Mummy took us out for a special walk today – to a place where we love to go swimming.

In the past Hal’s always wanted to play fight with me in the water and has lost his rhythm and that has caused him to panic a bit, so he’s never got into swimming much.  But today he was happy just to swim along with me, and actually seemed to be enjoying it.

This is where we went swimming:

No Show

Mummy was hoping to take us to a country show today, but as it’s been doing nothing but raining we decided to stay at home in the dry instead.  Two of our neighbouring counties have declared a drought, and we’ve had nothing but rain for the last couple of weeks.  Come on summer, where are you hiding?

Getting Better

I’m pleased to report that I’m feeling better today, although a little weak.  I’ve eaten all of my breakfast and kept that down, and am now resting – only moving when Mummy takes me outside.  Rest is always such a good medicine.

Sick Little Zeenie

Poor little Zen was sick tonight.  He brought up all his food, and then after Mummy had given him some medicine he brought all that up as well.  But the medicine seems to have done the trick, and he’s settling down now for a little rest.

Mummy says he was a little hero – every time he felt sick he took himself outside into the garden.
