When one of my sheep left to bring my lost sheep home.  It was very strange.

Dog and sheep are ill. Vets and antibiotics and painkillers. Fingers crossed they will all get better. I hate it when anyone is not 100%.

My poor little Patterdale terrier has been on house arrest all week. She finally gets to go outside on a very small dogwalk.

The wild primroses are beautiful.

Worming time again so armed with all I needed, I wormed all the horses and ponies.  Not too much mess.  Most behaved.

My Shetland sheep is still not right.  Boiling up an evil-smelling potion for him.
