12 weeks

Little man's head is starting to develop now. When I criticise him, I'm always criticising him as he is on the day and not what he'll become. (If only we could see the future!) His head had been a little "pointy" for a couple of weeks, and his underjaw was looking weak ... but it looks like his head is now more in sync with the rest of him! 

He weighs 13.4 kg today, though currently still the smallest of the male siblings, he's actually quite a chunk! 

Zavi had his first ride in the new Blanik bus today. We went to Mum's to take her some medication and also to collect water. For the first time in my 30 + years here, the water in the mountain is drying up. There are 5 houses on this supply and we are all in the same boat. Not great with so many animals needing water, sadly the plants will just have to die!

A New Van, A New Walk

Another stunning walk at the top of Rhosgadfan. How did I not know about all these lovely walks? I didn't see a soul again today, just as we like it!

Busy Days

It's been so busy up here the last few days, and just at the right time for Zavi as he continues to learn about the world. Sarah and Family are camping in a blue rent in the middle of his field. Their lovely old boy Sully is with them. Jackie came to see Sarah and family. (Pic to follow) Paul and Jo are in the caravan; Paul has been flying his multicoloured lit drone in the dark, we went to watch. Mark came up today to remove the bulkhead in the van, he used a very noisy angle grinder to cut the top bit off ... we watched that too. Cars, vans, people coming and going, little walks, some training and lots of fun. 

Poor Steve has been so unwell through all of it, but the antibiotics are starting to kick in so maybe he'll be back on form in a couple of days ... just as everyone leaves! 

Tents And Vans

Zavi went to visit Ivylene, Sarah and Ellie who are staying in a tent in the field. His response to seeing a blue thing in the field was spot on, as was his attitude in club last night! 

Blanik bus number 4 has arrived on the mountain. It was a lovely drive home from Denbigh! 

Not So Maternal Meerah!

Hiding on top of the boncan!

She tries, well a little anyway, but she's a bit like me around children. She wants to be seen doing the right thing, but really she wishes the child thing wasn't there!

Tick!

Saturday afternoon I asked Steve what was sore on the back of my neck. He said it looked like I'd scratched and taken the top off a skin tag. Twenty-four hours later it was becoming more sore, but I didn't think much more of it, but yesterday evening it was very uncomfortable. I asked Steve to look again; yeah, he said it's Ok, but I asked him to take a photo of it. OMG it's a bloody tick! How did he not notice? I asked him to remove it, but he said, "I don't know how you always remove them!" Well Mr S you have to do it, I got him a pair of tweezers and told him he had to try. He was still adamant it wasn't a tick, but I'd seen the photo – I knew it was! I have to confess it was really sore. but he got it out. I think I'll have much more sympathy for the pets now when I remove them! 

After washing the area with soap and water, we washed it again with TCP and water and then added germolene cream. Let's hope it heals nicely now and that it wasn't carrying anything nasty!

Not stressed at all, young man.

I just love this photo, apart from it being fun at the time, it shows his conformation beautifully. 

Daydreaming - Lovely little boy. 

Beautiful Day For It!

Zavi Is 11 Weeks

My lovely little man has left the building and been changed for a whirlwind of biting and naughtiness. All part of growing up eh! Anyway he weighed 11.7kg on my scales this morning. 

This second photo is of Orin, and this is what I wrote ... "He weighs 9.4 kg so I'd say set to be comfortably between 10kg and 14kg by 3 months on the 19th of this month."
