Cows Sheep Dogs and Kids

This weekend seemed to be all about adding to and subtracting from our menagerie.....

1. A 4 hour drive to the coast and back again (all in one exhausting day) to rendezvous with Mum and make a swap - 3 girls for one puppy dog! It was lovely to see our girls after a long QUIET whole week without them (they had stayed on at Mum's after Xmas and were totally spoilt while Tim and I returned to go to our jobs).

We had a very nice lunch at the Nambucca Club.....


....then said goodbye to Spike the pup as he drove away with Mum, who kindly offered to deliver him to his new owners for us.....such a cutie pie - and one of the happiest dogs I've ever come across....


2. The next day we gave away our last puppy, gorgeous Lila Lou, to her new family.....


3. And also Duffy - the Daddy dog who is responsible for all these litters. A man who answered our ad too late to get himself a pup was happy to get a fully trained working adult....a trip to the vet is apparently planned for the Duff Man real soon!


4. Bought 9 sheep, freshly shorn and looking rather cold and naked....hopefully all pregnant and due to lamb soon.....a paddock of bouncy baby lambs to look forward to!



5. Mustered the cattle and chose these beauties to send off to the saleyards.....16 fat shiny heifers.....



6. Enjoyed time with our new little girly, Milly.....yes, we kept one.....Mia and Milly are as thick as thieves.....so how could we not?



Hoping and praying for the rain to stop. Watching footage of the floods tonight was heart-wrenching......I can only imagine the terror. My heart goes out to the families evacuating from their homes tonight, and all those who have been affected.
