TROUBLE!
Sorry its been so long, but its been day after day of trouble! I cant remember all of it but one day I was in a rush, desperate for a cup of tea, and you know what that's like.....So feed animals got Steven to school for around 8am saw Laura off to college, chased the chickens back to there area, rescued a duckling and ready for a cuppa by now its 8.15am and I need a cuppa.....Then just as I was about to sit, you know when you are half way down and your body thinks its going to have a five minute break.....then an almighty commotion outside, I could hear Shadow yelping, I ran nothing on my feet down across gravel through the stingers and saw Shadow by the fence, couldn't see what was wrong, but I guessed her paw was stuck, she froze momentarily. Then as I got closer I could see she was in real trouble, she had tried to jump the pig netting after a rabbit of all things....The pig netting wouldn't have been a problem , but she was stuck on the barbed wire on top and because she had panicked her back leg was tightly wound around another bit of wire, she is 50-60kg so I couldn't lift her without breaking her leg, I shouted for Pete in a panic to come quick, it was like he took forever to get down across the field, things go in such slow motion when you are in a fix....He took the weight of Shadow and after more luck than judgement we freed her, without major injury. She had a huge cuddle and stayed inside for the rest of the day. Now can I have a cup of tea!
