Ideation 8,216 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Right, I need to update this a bit! Still need to build a barn, but things have expanded a bit. Registered as a business now, up to 47 sheep, around 20 pigs and assorted poultry. Had a cracking litter out of my saddleback sow. Also managed to acquire some more land, so now messing around with around 30 acres (still only own 3 and a bit!), mostly rented. Onwards and upwards! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Aye, well apparently, if you stop posting on THL folk think your dead. . . . including the ones that know you in the real world lol. But no, very much alive. Just incredibly busy with the dogs, sheep, pigs, ferrets, gamekeepering, work etc etc. Not much time for sitting around in the evenings on the laptop. But thought a visit was due when wales12345 said folk were worried. Poor wee lambs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Finn is back in working order, on all four feet at the moment. The 'pup' is now a lump, doing well, just needs lots of work throwing at her, and constant reminding of her manners as the drive in her is strong and she's stubborn as feck. The hound is absolutely flying, had a summer of lazing around and this season she has really upped her game, absolute dream to work. So aye, dog wise i'm happy at the moment. Been looking at the empty kennel i've got though and having some thoughts. Finn might be making babies after the season. . . . . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
