12 noon

Thursday 18th June - Staff Check + dog fur

Was onsite meeting a contractor this morning who will be replacing some gates onsite for us 

The girls all dozing in the pine woodland, content and looking well. 

I asked 216 to move on to check her leg, she seems OK, if irritated I disturbed her...! 

They are older girls and British Whites are sometimes susceptible to leg stiffness issues, so not overly concerned but please do continue to keep an eye.

On a side note, I found a pile of dog hair by the gate where someone has groomed their dog and left the fur onsite. People tend to do this thinking they are doing a favour for the local nesting birds, but if the dog has been treated with tick/flea treatments this gets is extremely toxic to anything that comes into contact with it. 

I'll see what I can do about putting some signs up but spread the word amongst your dog walking pals! 

Cheers

Zoe 

216 stiff hind leg

 Out walking my dog and 216 walked passed the gate. Her hind left leg as you look at her rear looked stiff or very slightly lame. No signs of injury I could see

Friday 5th June

No Fence located all 3 in the middle of the corral but I couldn't get to them without a machete!

Plenty of physical evidence that they've been up and down the path between the 2 gates by the stream, so hopefully all's OK.
