More uplifting news

So after yesterday's unremitting doom and gloom I wanted to give you the more exciting and uplifting news - Barley has had puppies. They were born about 36 hours after Flynn died so it was a bit of a rollercoaster weekend. She had six, though one was born dead and one died at four days old, but the others are hale and hearty and already great fun.


Puppies at 13 days old

We've decided to keep the yellow one (a girl) and call her Fig, the others are known as Hector, Bramble and Hickory (though we can't tell Bramble and Hickory, both girls, apart yet!).

The other exciting (!) news is that we have the pork back from the first five animals we sent off, but I will post more about that later...
