Just as you think it's safe to trust her. . . . .

The little cow lets you down.
Jes has been coming along brilliantly, she is trusted to be left unattended around the house and hasn't let us down, she hasn't chewed anything that doesn't belong to her, no mess, just a little angel.

Then this morning she does this.....
Just one lie in, that's all I wanted. At 0630 this morning they were all awake, but I just wanted another half hour, that's all. Not too much to ask for on a Sunday morning. And this is how I'm repaid!
I wouldn't have minded too much had she just chewed the top, they were still usable. No she had to make a hole further down as well. It was pouring with rain this morning and there were puddles everywhere. All I can say is thank goodness for guest wellies'!

As you can see though she is growing rapidly and we have to keep reminding ourselves that she is only 5 months old. She has learnt so much in such a short space of time. She sit's, retrieves, leaves or gives it to you and recalls when requested. She does still bite at the chickens though and digs! Mm might see if I can get her to dig the trenches for the spuds, there's a thought. Then again she will probably grab the spuds and run away with them, I'll do it myself.




Taz on the other hand is getting older and stiffer and completely puddled. Her back legs are very stiff sometimes and when they are at their worst she struggles to get up and walk, very often going round in circles. One day she is very very bad and I think 'OK time to say goodbye' and then the next day she is oh so better, still puddled but can walk no problems. Poor old girl. Taking it day by day with her at the moment, which we will probably be doing for another 12 months. The hardest thing is trying to work out if she is in pain, because she never complains, no whimper, or bark, nothing she just gets on with it.

Take care
