Dharma the puppy has been visiting. Since Thursday. She’s a sweety, but she’s also a jumping, pushy, “gotta love me” kinda baby and sometimes you’d like to take her out somewhere and quietly drown her. Even LB finds her a bit tiresome after a while but I notice that Ghost, who professes to hate all things young, is currently outside playing with her engaging with her in a not-altogether-intolerant manner. But from time to time everybody needs to disconnect and have a doggie nap in peace. Belly-rub optional but not discouraged.
H/T to Wirecutter.


















































I was having a belly rubbing session earlier with my swine – all except for James pig, he’s still not forgiven me for trying to inject him for the past week and finally succeeding in sticking him with 20 mils of syphicillin last night – using a neighbour’s spring loaded injecting gun on the end of a very long stick.
the sows were enjoying the sun after the 35mm+ of rain yesterday, they love the attention, and roll over to be stroked – at 1/4 of a ton each, I keep my legs well clear…
