Faces of Flo: Abandoned
Flo Flo is feeling very abandoned at the moment; I keep going out and taking The Ritalin Kid but not her. Even though she gets something tasty before we go, this is the pathetic sight at the gate when we … Continue reading
Monday Mischief: George Gets His Own Back
When Flo finds George on her bed she (wisely) won’t go near it. Elsie has the stupidity foolishness innocence of youth on her side. She’ll learn.

Monday Mischief: Elsie’s First Night Of Freedom
Tonight is the first night that Elsie hasn’t been confined to either a crate or pen overnight. It’s half past eleven. Here are some pics of the early part of the night… Five minutes in and Elsie’s bed is empty … Continue reading
Monday Mischief: What’s Worse Than Finding A Rat In Your Golf Bag?
Today’s mischief wasn’t caused by any permanent occupants of Flo’s house, but by unwanted house guests. I have known there’s been a rat in the storeroom for several weeks. It was nibbling away at the lambs’ ears I had for … Continue reading
The Tyranny of Snot
Oh dear, oh dear. What a slack a**e! I have been suitably pulled up on a lack of bloggy movement by The Typist. As usual it is not the animals’ fault, they have given me plenty of laughs over the … Continue reading
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday – Quiet Schmiet
Following on from Saturday’s post… we’ve just come back from the v-e-t where Elsie has had between 40ml – 50ml fluid drained off her wound site. This is with keeping her relatively quiet. The v-e-t has recommended sedatives. We’re taking … Continue reading

October to May is ‘stinger season’ here in Darwin. Stingers are box jellyfish. It’s a good time to stay out of the water because it is not a creature you want to meet. Most of the time it’s not a … Continue reading

Monday Mischief – It Wisnae Me!
Elsie assures me she has no idea who dug about in all my carefully placed sand, but she thinks it might have been Flo. Or George. Or even Fergus. We’re taking part in the Monday Mischief Blog Hop hosted by … Continue reading
