Chicken Run

So you would remember all the turf the wonderful J and I removed from the front yard? 

Well it had to go somewhere, and that place was the chicken run. 

You may remember that the chicken run when we first created it was beautiful!  

However over time it had fallen into disrepair.....

All the turf had died and it was looking very sad and dusty.  Miss Chicken does not spend any time in there so there was no real hurry to get to it - but with all that turf needing a place to go, this suddenly went to the top of the list! 

So we dug up the chicken run and lay all the turf down...

It doesn't look great at the moment! but it will in a few weeks after some good watering. 

This is some we did after we lifted the turf for the front stairs.... it is going great guns now!

Kitten update

So a few people have asked me lately how our foster kittens are going!

They are going really really well!

They only stayed with us for 5 weeks before they found their real homes and I have been getting email updates about how much they are loved and all the cute things they have been up to!

Our little family went into a week of mourning when they finally left - it was so quiet here!



We would foster again in a heartbeat.  It was so lovely to have them running around the house and we really nice to be able to find them such good homes.  It was surprisingly easy to let them go when you know they are going home with such lovely people, who were going to adore them!

So we are kittenless at the moment we will not be fostering again until next year as with building work imminent at our house, we don't think that would be such a good idea!

If you would like to consider fostering even for a short time I couldn't encourage you to do it more! It is a wonderful experience, and you are doing something truly amazing for a little animal!

For more information you can contact me or contact Nine Lives Four Paws - go on just do it! 

New (temporary) additions to the family

Fostering is something that I have been thinking about doing for awhile now, but it is one of those things that I never got around to and was too hard when I was working full-time. 

However now that I only work part-time I decided it was time to do it! 

I contacted an couple who had just started up a cat rescue called Nine Lives, Four Paws and asked them if they needed foster carers - and they said yes! 

A few weeks later I went and picked up my babies:  Frankie (ginger male) and Honey (black splodgy female).  

They are just adorable and although we are having some toilet training issues they are a true delight. 

I will be looking for good homes for them soon, so if you know anyone....... or if you think that you can foster let me know and I would be happy to help!
