TECHNICAL HITCH!


Before we let Buzz into the lunge ring, we relocated Pixie ..one of our sows to be with him for company beings as he was soooo small, we ran her up the paddocks and into the old Kune Kune enclosure. She seemed to go up there fine but wasn't really impressed that the others weren't following. Anyway Buzz was released and for a few hours he followed her like a shadow and she seemed to be OK. It was desperately cold and a biting wind was worrying me with Buzz being just a baby. Eventually after a hour or so Pixie went in the house, Buzz followed and I breathed a sigh of relief. They would be cuddling up together to keep warm in the straw. I turned my back, just for a moment and heard the most almighty screech. I jumped and nearly cleared the fence, and I was in there as quick as a flash. Pixie had lifted Buzz up with her nose...not hurt him at all, but threw him in no uncertain terms out of the house. He was out in the cold......That was it I couldn't risk anything else...I whipped him up in my arms and took him into the house...until I could hatch a plan!......So Buzz was in the kitchen, what was I going to do?????....That sounds like a 1980's song some how!
