.. 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.

That photo of Marcel has a creepy vibe going on. I feel like he wants to eat my liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Silence of the Lamb. … fah fah fah
Oh my those babies are adorable. Marcel looks quite content, I’d live to meet that cute little face.
What a very pretty pig Poppy is…. I feel so sorry for Daisy..can you do an E section on a cow..I do hope that she will be alright. I am going to sag a special prayer for her tonight after all she is one of God’s Creatures
Brilliant News! Well done Daisy!!!
Great news!! Hey, I guessed Friday and Friday it is…Yay!! Welcome to the Farmy World, Little Bobby 🙂
Sweet piggie Poppy, she’s lovely. and welcome to Bobby, just in time to share his milk with wee Poppy. A lovely day for the farmy.
Such Poppy cuteness 🙂 And your Facebook post of Daisy and the new Bobby heralded the good news. Sigh of happiness here. Now for Queenie…
Lucky you, two new piggies! Love the name Poppy. Hooray for Daisy, I thought you’d have to load her in a trailer and drive back and forth over some railroad tracks, that worked for my sister. (Not in a trailer! in a MG Midget haha).
Oh, that is too funny.
Great to see everyone looking so cute today especially Poppy the new little pig-she is gorgeous. Like everyone , i am looking forward to hearing news of a new little calf as well. Love your blog and look forward to hearibg from you every day.
Also just read that Daisy has had the calf in the comments – good on you Daisy and the new calf sounds very healthy so all is good on the farm. Bet you are tired Celi- All grest news.
Poppy is a adorable! And congratulations to Daisy! I’m so glad the new little one is healthy and doing well.
Well I can’t wait until tomorrow so I can see the little guy. Im not on Facebook.
Wow! Great to come on late and read about both mother and babe doing well! At last! At long last! And it seems without having had to be induced? Poppy looks great and I love the name! I had thought of Patty as she came to you so close to St Paddy’s Day, buyt like this better. Being in a somewhat ‘cheeky’ mood after all the good news, from the farmy am kind’of amused to think that Jamie Oliver named his first two daughters Daisy and Poppy . . . .;) [Oh I very much like the guy and what he has done for British cooking, but. hmm, don’t know that he and I would agree as to children’s names!]
Hurray! Bobby is being celebrated all over the world! Marcel, Poppy and Bobby – all sure signs of spring!
Just checked back in and saw the news. Hurray! Daisy does good work, even if she takes her time over it. Looking forward to photos of Bobby when you get time to draw breath…
