.. 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.

Go Daisy go! “Would, but could” she replied. I am awaiting the outcome along with your farmy family…good wishes from Tennessee.
Poppy’s nearly as cute as Sheila 😉
Ok, Daisy-Girl…it’s time now! Miss C’s got all those other Babies taken care of, it’s your turn…
Hope it’s soon, C…and flawless. Poppy’s a great name for the little girl 🙂
Well there’s that little guy – Marcel the happy. Always makes my morning. It’s been a long week. I needed a little dose of that happy little guy. And poppy is adorable. A wall climber huh? Hopefully Daisy will go into labor naturally this weekend. My fingers are crossed for you.
Little Poppy is so precious! And you’ve chosen a beautiful name for her and I think the name suits her perfectly as both she and the name are cute and charming. Icelandic Poppies are one of my favourite flowers. I planted some seeds today, so I hope they will blossom and grow along with your little bundle of joy.
Poor Daisy – those last stages of pregnancy are tough in any species. Let’s hope that she delivers us a surprise today.
Oof, I remember being marched around when Kaya didn’t come out as fast as they’d have liked. It sure worked for me — I hope things go smoothly with Daisy. Welcome, Poppy!
Poppy’s adorable, and that calf is coming today, one way or another. I just know it. 🙂
A little cutie! Now, can you get Daisy to a supermarket and get to push a heavy trolley around?!
poppy is perfect! come on daisy! you can do it girl!
Tell Daisy she has plane tickets to Aruba and simply must be on the plane, no excuses. Expensive and unbreakable plans always brought my babies.
Poppy is simply adorable!
Welcome to the farmy wee little Poppy. You are adorable. I hope there will be a calf to join you, today maybe…
Have a beautiful day C.

Poppy’s a real cutie! She may be a runt now, but with the Celi treatment I think she may end up as impressive as Auntie Sheila next door. I’ve never liked the word runt. It’s rude. When I was a child, the local term for the small piglet that failed to thrive was the Tantony Pig. I like Tantony much better.
My friend took me for a ride in her mini (with no suspension) along dirt roads with big pot holes – didn’t work though!
Welcome Poppy – what a beautiful little girl you are. You look like a very small Sheila! And I am sure Aunty Shelia has lot to teach you too.
Hugs, Lyn
Poppy is adorable!
Maybe Daisy has been waiting for a warmer day. Today is going to be a warmer day. It will be warmer than yesterday, so come on and see the world little calf.
Poppy is such a cute little piglet and looks quite comfortable in her new home.
