IN SEARCH OF SNOWY


 Snowy is our Easter Egger chicken, She is snowy white and quite friendly to all of us. But she likes to sneak out of the gate of her pen  when Father is not paying attention. Usually Mother finds her and brings her back to the pen. But not this time....

We all knew she was out and about but Mother did not. We watched her sneak out of the back garden too.

It wasn't until it was nearly dark that Mother found out she was missing. Father went out into the darkness to search for her and Mother was very worried. She was nowhere to be found.

We tried to make Mother feel better by playing nicely with each other and just being quiet and snuggly.





. In the morning, in the freezing rain, Father went out in search of Snowy. She was n the bushes near Auntie Kathy and Uncle Mike's house. Father had to get Uncle Bob to come help catch her and bring her safely home. She was very lucky to be alive.

Every body wanted to go out and see Snowy's return and of course- Uncle Bob...




And after all this worry and excitement, we are exhausted. Time to rest. Welcome home Snowy- safe and sound.



May your days be filled with peace my friends...

OH! SO MANY TOWELS ON THE FLOOR!

Image
The rains are unending these days and the towels on the floor catching leaks from the skylights and catching muddy wet puppy paws are unending too. Father gives us treats and dries us off but there is not much else to do in these dreary days. I try to keep Dusty calm and happy but we are all wet and sad for the weather. Dusty keeps asking Mother when the skies will stop crying. But I don't think  it will stop any time soon.   May your days be filled with peace my friends...

THE BEANS FIRST VET VISIT

Image
It was early in the morning when Mother and Father loaded the Beans into the crates in the car and headed to the Doctor's place. They were put into a big tub and waited for the Doctor to come into the room. They were very good except for pooping in the tub. First up was Hope. She checked out  and got her microchip and her first shot. Oh and they each got some stinky cheese from a can. Dusty was up next. Onyx was next- she did not mind getting her eyes and ears checked out. Sunnie was next- she really liked the vet tech who was very gentle with all the puppies. Ali was next- none of the puppies cried when they were jabbed. Prince was an absolute sweetheart. Midnight loved the stinky cheese the most. The puppies went right outside in the warm sunshine. Mia was so glad her puppies were home I am secretly glad they are back too. The beans napped for a few hours Everyone kept watch over them. Until it was lunchtime and they ate nearly everything. Then Mia cleaned up. They still nurse on

THE DAY OF DEAFENING QUIET

Image
It all happened so fast. We did not know, I did not know. No one really knew but Souris knew. She knew it was her time to run free and find her Moula.                                                       My name is Arabella Castellabate . I am Souris sister by association. I am named after my Mum's grandfather's town in Italy. I am Mother to eleven puppies including Izzy, Mia and Raven. Mia is actually related to Souris. It is with a broken heart that I take the reins of the blog from Souris. I hope I can honour her with my writing. It was just like any other morning though it was raining still. Mother gave us chewing bones before she went to school. Souris wrote her blog and slept on all the rugs that Mum and Dad put on the floors to help Souris not slip. I stood and watched Mum and Dad talk and get upset and a phone call and I knew I was losing my sister. Mum and Dad snuggled and comforted all of us. Souris assured us she would be in a better place soon. I am not so sure bec
