Up to recently we have posted news on twitter. However, we have decided not to proceed with the twitter option of relating news. It was quite restricting as only a certain amount of words could be used hence we are reverting back to our website.
Sheep:
Currently we have only one elderly sheep – Bluebell. A few weeks ago she fell in the field and could not get up. I managed to bring her into the stable yard and she is now residing in the penthouse and loving every minute. Another elderly sheep -Twinnie was also brought in but unfortunately she died. She was given full military honours and her ashes are back and will be placed in the memory garden.
The other sheep seem to be doing well especially Cardigan, although she was quite disgusted when Twinnie and Bluebell went into the penthouse as she remembered the six months she spent there and wanted to join them! The weather is not too bad for the sheep at least that is what I think. They, however, have other ideas and tend to stay in the 'bungalow' and when it is raining I am the only one outside as I go to feed them! The grass is still growing and I have had to feed them haylage on only two occasions. One Sunday, we did have heavy snow and Sylvia who lives across the way had to feed them as the road was blocked and I couldn't get through.
Cats:
At the moment the cats are not doing too badly. Elma, has been suffering from cystitis and is under veterinary care. She is on a special diet. We are receiving quite a lot of donated cat food from clients at County's End Veterinary hospital and a big thanks to them.
Thornsbeck Wood:
All is quiet in wood at the moment but spring is just around the corner and hopefully will reveal a substantial growth in the saplings.
General:
We were thrilled when Lady Mary Mumford agreed to be our patron and hopefully will get to meet her this year.
We have three students who are in the final year at vet school. Two at Edinburgh and one at Liverpool. We wish them every success in their final exams and will keep you posted on how they do We have two new cats now listed on the site, called Treacle and Lulu-Bell. Also included on the front page is a disclaimer about veterinaryvouchers.co.uk.
A big thank you to the land army who have continued to help every week and their susport is much appreciated.
A big thank you also to Ruth who maintains our excellent website.
To all of you who continue to browse our website, The Digglers wish you a happy and prosperous 2012.
