…and relax

30Sep09

It feels like we’re turning a corner here. Things got a bit hairy for a while with Pepper & George’s myxi – who are thankfully healing up nicely – and distinctly hairless with Dixie. Our little old lady of the bunch had surgery for a hernia in her belly, and while we all held our [...]

Chocolate -2 days and counting

10Apr09

It’s nice to have a couple of peaceful days after the somewhat stressful events in recent weeks. Pie seems to be doing well now; his daily routine involves warm baths and plenty of basking under the sun heat lamp and UV tube, with spells outside if the weather’s up to scratch.

Waking up

29Mar08

Got Pie out of his winter sleep box today after what must be one of his longest hibernations. Normally him and Mash are up and about in the garden by the end of February – showing disgust at the chilly temperatures and general lack of sunlight to bask in – but this year he’s had [...]
