It has taken me over a week to write this post. Mainly because every time I did, I cried. I don’t think any words will be sufficient to describe our dear dog Rosie who died last week. I began writing about her death and how I found her in the morning but I don’t think…
A lesson has been learned at the farm this week. We have had loads of rabbits over the years and I have always been forced to give them away because of over zealous terriers at the farm who would love nothing better than a bunny bagel for lunch. Recently I decided that the children were…
I think most people have an animal that they have loved with all of there being. Whether it is a dog or cat, a horse or even a farm animal, there has got to be one that has infiltrated your soul. For me it is Rosie the dog but, (sorry Rosie) there have been others…
Most dogs have quirks about them but Rosie, my beloved pooch, has always had issues. We have had her since she was seven weeks old so I know she hasn’t been mistreated-something which you would think said issues could stem from. She is a Jack Russell but, most unlike Hubster and I, we never saw…
My word of the week this week is: It is terrible because of one terrible day. Wednesday. They say bad luck comes in threes but it was four for me on Wednesday. Rosie, my beloved, love of my life dog was spayed. Not a big deal to most people but pregnancy hormones along with…

We have some beautiful old trees at the farm. So when Hubster told us there were some oak and horse chestnut trees in one of the back fields, we decided to go and investigate. It has been an unseasonably dry September so we trotted off in regular shoes rather than wellies and took Rosie the…
Now, you don’t have to tell me that dogs are clever creatures. I am a great advocate for the intelligence of the canine species. However, since I have been pregnant, I have had a shadow with me. Everywhere. Rosie. She was like this when I was pregnant with Boo. When I felt ill in the…
So Rosie the dog has been under the weather since Sunday. She was still down this morning-not eating and lethargic but I thought she would last until tomorrow when I am off work. Hubster rang me at 8.15am and said she yelped when he picked her up. I panicked. We had to put Poppy, one…
