.. has proven herself to be a voracious eater, with a lovely friendly temperament and plenty of gumption, even chewing down on her cabbage (sliced very small with a little molasses).
With Sheila very loudly eating her hay next door as a ‘good example’.
And being watched by a cat. Of course. There is always a cat somewhere, watching.
I called the vet about Daisy being so late and she said take her for a walk. So we did. We walked up and down Pats Paddock. I said to her lucky they are not making you jump down steps .. a doctor did that to me once.
If there is no change this morning I shall call and see if we need to induce her. Her udder is so big now she is rubbing herself raw. Nothing is easy this year.
Come on Daisy.
Poppy.
She does have some toilet issues but I am putting that down the change in diet and environment. She is also very small for her age, but sturdy. Good legs. She is a climber too, I found her literally climbing the walls!
I hope you all have a lovely day.
I hope I have some good news for you soon.

I just saw your news about Daisy on your facebook page – well done Daisy on the birth of your son! Now we all want to see some photos of him.
Poppy is a good name for the pig. I love the name and am a little bit biased because it’s the name of my dog, a little shih-tzu, now an old lady of 15.
Have a wonderful day on the farmy Celi.
I sent you a friend request on Facebook.
I DO NOT KNOW how it works.
If you get an odd request from PNth … is me… sigh XO
There is a swine disease causing huge problems, it’s called PED, I don’t remember the acronym’s definition. Maybe someone else has already provided this info? Your lil Poppy is adorable. Still waiting for Daisy’s calf! And we are due for more snow here in VA on Tuesday! How about you?
Your barn animals are adorable!
Poppy is a perfect name. What a sweet oinker. And Daisy’s cheering section is SOOOO helpful. Here’s hoping a few turns around the lot will get her going.
Poppy is adorable! Jumping down steps? Yikes. Those doctor’s orders are hard to imagine.
You can’t know what happiness and joy I get from seeing these photos! My smile is a mile wide, Celi.
