Tempete and the V.E.T


This morning, like each morning Tempete is waiting outside by the hanger for his breakfast to come. Only this morning he was in for a shock as his breakfast didn't come only the humiliation of being put in a chicken crate. He didn't fit in the borrowed cat crate.

It was a n early start as he needed to be at the V.E.T's for 8.30am for a little booked in operation we have been waiting for. At 9 months old it was time for him to loose those bits to stop the many kittens you see around this rural part of France.

He wasn't best pleased, not sure if it was him missing breakfast or being in a chicken crate but he meowed all the way to the vets. Only to asked by the vet am I sure I want him castrated as his such a good looking cat and not the feral farm cat she was expecting. I was a little surprised as the vets is going under major building work to enlarge it and I think its going to be pretty posh, take your shoes off at the door sort of Jobie so thought she may need all the money she can get to pay for it although after thought prices may well go up after building work is complete. Not sure how the farmer/ paysanne/hunter will take it if they have to take their muddy boots off?

Since picking Tempete up this afternoon I think he may be sulking, he has to stay inside tonight downstairs so only hope we wont be meowing keeping us up. I took biscuits for the staff on his pick up as I may not be able to afford them once building work is completed and prices have gone up at least I may of got a pre posh surgery price of 40 Euros (cash) but maybe I shouldn't be shouting about that as everyone may want a deal*

* For the expats who may read this and use Huggie we have been with her since she started out 12 years ago, Milo was one of her first patients in her dinning room. Since then we have spent a lot of money, like a REAL lot of money on cows, pigs, sheep, dogs, cat and one pet rat but not donkeys - very cheap to keep and chickens - maybe expensive but they either meet their maker or go in the pot but I do know people who have taken chickens to Huggie. So I think it may be time for a petite remise, if only she done a loyalty card wed be  well up!

Weeding

Potatoes A sad looking patch Hunting for carrots The weather has now gone from one extreme to the other from rain, rain and a bit more rain to hot, sunny and hotter. Time to access the veggie patch after I planted everything in one hit and then it got very damp and soggy. Well the potatoes are growing well, although they are going to be a lot later this year, kind of Earlie's for late ones and late ones maybe ready for Christmas dinner ( if they survive the bugs, rabbits and moles). The weeds have and still are growing really well, this morning was spent finding the carrots and parsnips, which I have with no help from Sorrel, who after a quick sniff lazed under the shade of the apple tree (which by the looks of it hasn't got hardly any apples on it?) The poor herb seeds sowed don't look to good or the french and runner beans, think a hungry mouse have nibbled on them so I will have to resow (once I have weeded -again)

A problematic Ewe

While Master C and Miss F were here over the weekend we took the opportunity for their help in moving the two ewes, Gorgon and Thumberlina to the field where the donkeys had been. What with all the rain we have had lately the grass grow super quick. The only problem was Miss Fatty did not want to move from her safe field (if only she knew she was moving to new lush grass). It took farmer J and Master C to try moving her after pushing from me and Master C had failed and she fell to the floor not moving an inch. There try also failed so they were both lead through the field in another direction. Of course once in the new field there was no looking back. Gorgon on the other hand was a breeze to move, as long as you have food he will follow, you just need to make sure you have enough food!
