Seven snags for Kees

Kees is seven years old, and instead of seven candles on a cake, he got seven sausages in his dinner. As you can see, he had to be restrained for his birthday photo, and it appears that you don't get red-eye with dogs - it's green-eye!
Kees is doing well for his age, although he has a bit of arthritis in his left hip and knee; he is having another course of Cartrophen injections, and we add glucosamine to his dinner (except on his birthday).
Forty-nine seconds later!.....
Happy Birthday, Kees!

1+1 + 2 eggs!

Unfortunately we lost Eggsmerelda 3 weeks ago, so we bought 2 new little brown hens, Pegg & Eggsme at 22 weeks old. We were told they might lay eggs at 24+ weeks & low & behold today when we looked they had laid one each, side by side!

What clever little hens!

They are really tame, popping up onto the clothes basket when I'm hanging out the washing, even Moregg, the older white hen, who has been very stand offish - never can catch her - is enjoying being stroked.

Oh well, off to eat our Norgegian eggs!!!
