Challenge Complete!!, we sold most of our land and Farm House! Enabling us to concentrate on Purl Design LLP - Sustainable Architecture and allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful retreat here at The Mill Cottages in either of our one bed cottages, along with our resident pets, ponies, chickens, goats, cats and dogs! We have spent the last year renovating the 400 year old mill for us to live in, completed late 2012 and love every minute!!!... We are looking forward to another successful year.

JUST TELL ME WHEN ITS OVER!
Gem must be pulling her hair out with all these Springers about!....She makes it to a safe place to watch the mayhem below. A typical day.....Get up (first big mistake!)...go down to see the puppies for breakfast, they are so excited that they skid in the mess from the night and it is every where, they are jumping around like loonies, I cant get them outside fast enough. Finally outside, try to feed big dogs so I can then sort puppies out without them eating it. Pups follow me everywhere and at great speed. They are in the bowls of the big dogs, finally get them to their plates and they are eating out the tin, as I cant dish it out fast enough. try to make sure everyone is eating and rescuing those that disappear before its over....whilst trying to clear the nightmare in the conservatory and lift and wash the bed. Meanwhile Steven and Laura come down for breakfast...wheres my PE kit, wheres my packed lunch...have you seen my homework and no I haven't touched it ...it must be you....I need a top for dance and its not where I put it!...wheres my wallet, keys...remember my golf stuff, I have a match ...etc etc...finished cleaning...well sort of ...puppies skid over all the paper I have just laid, making a right pigs ear of it....try to keep Lucky from feeding pups as she has mastitis...Shadow wants to play but hasn't got control of all her feet at the same time....also she sits wherever and when ever she chooses...puppy under or not!!!....try to get the pups in, but turn around to find ponies in the back garden...Pete left gate open..now have 11 dogs 4 ponies and Pete is shouting that the goats have escaped. Rush to pick up puppies put them indoors and hope for the best. keep eye on Lucky, shoo ponies to bottom paddock, catch goats....still only 7.30am and haven't had a cup of much needed tea...Laura now done all the packed lunches and all the crisis's of earlier seem to pale into insignificance....Need a cup of tea before I go mad....so no wonder Gem in on this chair hiding!!!!!When can you all pick your puppies up...coping is not a familiar word at present!!!If I didn't have to separate Lucky all the time it would be slightly easier...HHHHEEEEELLLPPPPP...If I ever contemplate breeding dogs please shoot me!

Hee hee, told you it would be chaos once they'd found their legs!
Panic not, this is Evolution at work.
You'd want to keep them all but this is just Nature's way of making sure you won't be too sad when they go. :)
