Poppys World January
What a lovely place to play all day, it has been white most of the time and she who must be obeyed has not been very happy with the white stuff. I love rolling in it and covering my mussel then jumping up to give her a kiss. The Master is much more fun he likes to roll the white stuff into balls and throwing them for me to catch, although most seem to land on my head but it is great fun.
The children who go for a walk in the Millennium woods have had a great time playing in the white stuff and coming to see me after their walk. They always bring their Mummy’s or Daddies and sometime their dogs, I like it when the dogs come to see me, sometimes the Mummy lets them off their leads and we can go running around the back field among the trees, I think they all think I am very lucky.
She who must be obeyed has been doing all sorts of things in the plastic tunnel, she seems to have a lot of the plants in there, she calls it “protection” I don’t know what she is trying to protect them from, the rabbits don’t come near them, I have made sure of that. The Master has been playing with the water pipes he has wrapped up the ones in the pig pens with lots of foam and bubble wrap, I can see it through the fence.
It is not that I am afraid of the pigs they are not the trouble it’s the wire that is all around them, it bites if you touch it and I can’t find its mouth. Houdini one of the Tamworth piglets seems to have learned how to go through the wire without it biting her, she loves to help the Master feed the other pigs, although she does seem to spend most of the time with her head stuck in the spare bucket. The Master just laughs at her, but I can see that the other piglets are not very happy with the arrangement, I am waiting for the day they all think that they can get passed the wire and it will bite them as well as me.
Pork Chops has been a bit naughty and the Master and she who must be obeyed are not very happy with him, he was a bit fed up with being in his pen so he bit a hole in his stock fence and went to play with his piglets in the pen next to him. The Master called she who must be obeyed and told her to get down to the pens and help him, Pork Chops will do anything for her and she called him to follow her and he did, back into the pen he came out of and the Master mended the fence. They then moved all the piglets into different pens, the Master was not happy as they had to close the front gates for a few hours on a Sunday morning and our visitors could not get in. I don’t know how long Pork Chops will be staying if he keeps up that behaviour, she who must be obeyed has a lot of patience but the Master does not!
The boys are coming back for lunch I must just see who has a little something for me.
