I went out on Monday morning to do the anipals; Ginger was late for breakfast. Not unusual. The Bestest Gundog was concerned and ran round the bridleway side of her pen: Having fed everyone else, I went in to investigate .... and discovered several stripey bodies squiggling round in the straw alongside her. With a little urging she got up and came out for breakfast - looking at me as if to say "Why'd you think there was a problem?". She and Mangal may be getting on but clearly they have not lost the recipe!
So the question remains. Is this to be her last litter? The little ones bounce and squiggle around her but she sleeps a lot. We'll see how they all go on.... then we'll decide...
Meanwhile, Andromeda has been weaned from her piglets.
"So, what happens next is She'll stop you runnin' around for a while" |
It's a relief to be able to leave doors open all over the place without fear a stream of piglets will dash in to investigate..... they're not so pleased with the idea though and, by the middle of the morning, were squealing to be let out. It was time for their general perambulation no doubt! How dare we shut them in!
At the end of the week Andromeda will be reunited with Samson but in the meantime she is having some precious 'Me' time to rest and recuperate.
